This @nytimes hit piece on President @realDonaldTrump’s judicial appointees actually shows that the President kept his promise to American voters that he’d appoint judges who understand their modest, but critical, role is to follow the law — not re-write the law to their liking.
Even leftwing commentator @imillhiser disagrees with the @nytimes hit piece’s premise that President @realDonaldTrump’s judicial appointees are extremists and/or unqualified:

See thread:

The (liberal) @ABAesq lost its credibility as a neutral arbiter of judicial qualifications, as it couples evaluators who are political opponents of nominees with a black-box, subjective process.

Here’s the ABA’s last (failed) political drive-by shooting:

The @nytimes hit piece discusses the supposed lack of diversity among Trump-appointed judges.

Garbage.

Democrats & their leftwing allies have a long & well-documented pattern & practice of opposing women & minority judicial nominees from R presidents.

Trump’s judicial appointees may disagree more with other judges, because they actually follow the law. Their judicial philosophies are textualism (what does the law actually say?) and originalism (what did those words mean to the public when enacted?). They don’t just make it up.
Cheers to @BarackObama & @SenateDems for the record pace of @realDonaldTrump’s (more conservative) judges.

In 2013, they “nuked” the filibuster of lower-court nominees to stack the DC Circuit with Obama-appointed liberals. We can now confirm judges with 51, instead of 60, votes.
Thread on liberal @ABAesq’s fatally flawed evaluation process of President @realDonaldTrump’s judicial nominees:

“The Times examination was based on interviews with dozens of people close to the nomination process . . . .”

I was then-@senjudiciary Chairman @ChuckGrassley’s Chief Counsel for Nominations last Congress. We held hearings for 36 of the 51 circuit judges.

No one contacted me.
