Trump’s Amazing Judicial Record

Law Hammer Justice Right Court Horizontal

Looking back at 2018, President Trump’s record on appointing, and McConnell of confirming, constitutionally-minded judges is unprecedented in recent history. Breitbart reports:

President Donald Trump has had as much impact on the third branch of government in two years as most presidents have in two full terms, and the new Senate opens the door for the second half of his first term to be even more significant than the first half.

The Senate in 2018 confirmed 67 federal judges to lifetime appointments: one Supreme Court justice, 18 judges to the U.S. courts of appeals, and 48 judges to the federal district courts (which is where trials are conducted).

Combined with the 2017 number, this is a phenomenal total of 85 new federal judges: two Supreme Court justices, 30 appellate judges, and 53 trial judges. The total of 30 for the circuit courts of appeals breaks the previous all-time two-year record of 23, marking a historic achievement by President Trump and Senate Republicans.

Many of the issues most important to voters turn on competing views of interpreting the Constitution or federal law, and thus depend on the judicial philosophy of the judges deciding court cases involving those issues.

Even if Trump can pass little legislation in his following two years, he can leave a deep and long lasting impact on the country through his judicial picks, as John Adams did with the appointment of Chief Justice Marshall.

We can do much more for the Judicial Branch in the next six years. We need to demand ArticleVI within the US Constitution is Supreme Law of the Land, and enforce it at all levels of government. All not in good standing shall be defunded and removed from office. The “interpretation” of the Constitution nonsense has gone on long enough. The Bill of Rights is clear, the days of elitists misinterpreting clearly written rights and twisting then to conform to their agenda is over! US citizens will not be swindled any further.

THANK GOODNESS WE (HOPEFULLY) will start to observe our CONSTITUTION. Perhaps there is hope for our nation after all. I’ve grown quite tired of “bogus” judges SUBSTITUTING their “opinion” for the ORIGINAL intent of the Constitution. If change is NECESSARY, the document provides FULL INSTRUCTIONS for amendment. Please FOLLOW them !!!

This foul mouth Muslim was elected by her people – Muslim people. She needs to be reprimanded by some committee in the house. She is being paid by the American people and she needs to clean her act up! We don’t need people of that filthy caliber in the Peoples’ House! President Trump is trying to clean up the smelly swamp left by the former President. She is a disgrace to the United States!

QUICKLY FILL ALL OF THE 9TH CIRCUIT VACANCIES WITH ORIGINALIST CONSTITUTIONALIST KAVANAUGH-LIKE JUDGES!!! DO THE SAME FOR ANY VACANCIES WHICH SHOW UP THERE!!! DO THE SAME FOR ALL UNFILLED JUDGESHIPS AND ANY WHICH PRESENT THEMSELVES AS TIME GOES ALONG!!! THIS WILL CLIP THE WINGS OF THE OBSTRUCTIONISTS WHO INVARIABLY RUN TO THE LIBERAL COURTS TO STOP TRUMP EVERY TIME HE TRIES TO GET THE PEOPLE’S WORK DONE!!!
SPARE NOT FOR THE CRYING OF THE LIBERALS. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TRUMP CAN GET HIS AGENDA FOR AMERICA DONE. IGNORE THE MSM AND ALL OTHER OPPONENTS. GET MCCONNELL TO WORK ON THIS USING ONLY A 50 PERCENT VOTE REQUIREMENT!!! I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT IF THE DEMOCRATS GET IN POWER, THEY WILL NOT COMPROMISE WITH THE REPUBLICANS IN ANY WAY. WE MUST USE THE POWER WE HAVE, WHILE WE HAVE IT.

IMMEDIATELY CALL THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WHAT, IN FACT, IT IS: THE “SCHUMER SHUTDOWN” SO THAT AMERICA CAN CLEARLY SEE WHO ACTUALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHUTDOWN. DON’T LET THE REPUBLICANS TAKE THE RAP AGAIN FOR ANY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN!!! TELL THE TRUTH!!! REPUBLICANS ALWAYS TAKE THE BLAME FOR THE SHUTDOWNS, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGGRESSIVELY ENOUGH USE PR TO SHOW AMERICA WHERE THE TRUE FAULT AND BLAME LIES…WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND ALL THEIR LIBERAL CRONIES (MSM, HOLLYWOOD, RINOS, ET. AL.). TRUMP’S ENEMIES ARE USING WELL-KNOWN COMMUNIST TACTICS TO TAKE DOWN AMERICA. THIS MUST BE STOPPED!!!
