President Donald Trump has installed a record number of federal appeals court judges in his first two years as president.

Donald Trump has installed a record number of federal appeals court judges in his first two years as president and is now on track to have appointed nearly one-fifth of all Circuit Court seats in the country.

On Tuesday, the Senate confirmed 37-year-old Allison Rushing and 46-year-old Chad Readler to Circuit Court positions. Last year, Trump mockingly thanked his predecessor, President Barack Obama for leaving so many judicial posts vacant at the end of his presidency. The Republican-controlled Senate had slowed down many of Obama’s federal court appointments at the end of his administration.

In addition to his reshaping of the Circuit Court, President Trump has had the ability to name two justices to the Supreme Court in his first two years. Both George W. Bush and Obama, despite serving eight years as president, only appointed two justices to the high court. The confirmation of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh gave the Supreme Court it's first reliable conservative majority in decades.

Disgusting. The only hope for restoring the legitimacy of our government is to annul the stolen 2016 elections and vacate all the seats stolen by a criminal presidency.

Great! So we have questionable judges in all circuits. Liars, cheaters, and thieves!

This is why Mitch McConnell destroyed our democracy.

And every single judge - SCOTUS judges included - will have to be VOIDED. realDonaldTrump was never the legitimate POTUS (using TREASON to win is strictly verboten, right? We don't let foreign countries win our elections). He never had the authority to choose them. Fact.

F$&k

The damage this will do to the freedoms we currently have...enjoy those freedoms while they last.

Got to try and protect the criminal empire.

Excellent move realDonaldTrump PressSec Trump
