Republicans Hurry to Lock in Trump’s Judges

“The Democrats’ coming takeover of the Senate has kickstarted a scramble to confirm two dozen of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees before Republicans turn over the gavel in January,” CNN reports.

“Trump’s remaking of the judiciary – from the Supreme Court on down in his first term – could arguably be the longest-lasting legacy of his presidency. Right-leaning judges could continue to serve as a check on Democrats, by striking down their policies, if they expand their power in Washington in 2028 and beyond.”
