President Trump likes to tout his appointment of Neil Gorsuch
to the Supreme Court as one of his main accomplishments in
his first year in office. But he broke an important record
Thursday that proves he also stands to have a major effect
on lower courts.
As of Thursday, Trump set a record for the most ever federal
appeals judges confirmed during the first year of a
presidency, Axios reports. Trump has successfully appointed 12
so far; President Barack Obama confirmed just three in his first
year, and President George W. Bush confirmed six. He beat out
presidents Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, who each confirmed 11.

Analysis: The Republican Senate went nuclear again to speed up confirming
conservative judges.
The Senate this week took another step toward majority rule and away from the old model of affording all senators, regardless of party, the right to speak and even block actions they oppose. Exploiting a parliamentary routine dubbed the “nuclear option,” all but two Senate Republicans voted against 46 Democrats to limit floor debate after the vote that brings the initial discussion of a nomination to a close.
The old rule allowed up to 30 hours of such “post-cloture” debate before a final vote on whether to confirm a president’s appointee. The new routine reduces that time to two hours, and it applies to the consideration of most executive branch and all district court nominees.

We're going to crush decades of progressive abuse of the constitution.
We're going to take all of their power.
They don't deserve it.

Can you imagine the liberal reaction when President Trump wins a second term, and will almost assuredly have at least one, and likely two more SCOTUS appointments?
It's going to be insanely hilarious.

To me it seems like he can't lose, but I am reminded of the last election. Confidence can cause one to underestimate their opponent greatly.

That is a valid point. With 90% of the MSM hostile toward Trump, it is only reasonable that the sheep follow.

I never say never, but the democratic party seems to be oblivious to mainstream America.
I can only assume they are living in the echo chamber of CNN, and MSNBC.

Only an advantage for conservatives if you assume that these judges will be party over country types , and you like that kind of thing.
If they are country before party that's how we all win and no one gets an advantage.
Another thing I wonder when people talk about appointing judges as a big deal is this, Don't all presidents get to appoint judges?
And if so wont the next dem potus just switch it all up?

The democratic party has been taken over by seditious elements with a lot of money.
Whoever it is that has such power over them did so by appealing to their sense of collectivism and political malleability with regard to what they think is progressivism. They are amenable to socialism because they are too stupid to know that it isn't just a bunch of government services and they think they can make taxation a form of charity in this environment.

Don't make it out like Trump is some raging, hardcore conservative. He is not. He is a pragmatist, that would prefer negotiated solutions, amiable to everyone.
Unfortunately, while this is a perfectly acceptable position to the average working Joe, or Josephine, it puts other polititians on the spot, and they fight him every step of the way.
