    Trump will fill 100 judicial vacancies

    There Are More Than 100 Judicial Vacancies Awaiting President-elect Trump

    While all eyes have been on the vacant Supreme Court seat, President-elect Donald Trump will also have a chance to shape the future of federal and district courts across the country.
    According to The Washington Post, there are 103 judicial vacancies Trump will inherit on January 20, which is nearly twice the amount President Obama found upon taking office.

    Confirmation of Obama’s judicial nominees slowed to a crawl after Republicans took control of the Senate in 2015. Obama White House officials blame Senate Republicans for what they characterize as an unprecedented level of obstruction in blocking the Democratic president’s court picks.The result is a multitude of openings throughout the federal circuit and district courts that will allow the new Republican president to quickly make a wide array of lifetime appointments.
    State gun control laws, abortion restrictions, voter laws, anti-discrimination measures and immigrant issues are all matters that are increasingly heard by federal judges and will be influenced by the new composition of the courts.

    “I’m optimistic he’ll come at this right out of the gate,” Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network, told the Post.

    “Every president can expect to make a huge impact,” Severino added. “[Trump] is unique in having campaigned really hard on this issue — the significance of the courts, and of the Supreme Court in p rticular.”

    Just wait until the leftness learns how they wont have control of the 9th anymore. Maybe Trump can push them over the edge into doing something stupid. Other than opening their mouths, that is.

    This myth that the Republicans obstructed Obama at every turn is amusing. Never once did the Republicans get in the way of Obama appointing his chooses cabilet members. They provided nearly no opposition to Obama appointing those two nit-wits Kagen and Soto-Mayor to the Supreme Court. They gave him massive support, more than the Democrats, on his negotiations on trade deals. They overwhelmingly supported his decision to send troops back into Afghanistan.

    The idea that the Republicans did nothing but obstruct Obama is a complete lie.

    Of course. Brett Talley is a perfect example of the type of appointment America needs to keep the judicial system running in its exemplary fashion.
