LINK Unqualified And Ideological: A Guide To Trump’s Worst Judges

Senate Republicans are confirming so many of President Donald Trump’s nominees to lifetime federal court seats, it’s hard to keep up. Who are these people? What difference will they make in my life, anyway?

Two and a half years in, what stands out about Trump’s confirmed judges isn’t just the quantity, which is remarkable ― two Supreme Court justices, a record-breaking 43 appeals court judges and 99 district court judges.

It’s that a chunk of his judges shouldn’t be on the bench at all because they aren’t qualified or they’re so ideologically extreme that it’s next to impossible to imagine them as fair arbiters of justice. These judges are now on federal courts at every level, from the Supreme Court to appeals courts, which have the final say in nearly all federal cases, down to district courts, where these cases are first filed. For the appeals court judges in particular, the decisions these people make will affect you and millions of other people for generations.

It will take decades to undo this terrible attack on our democracy. Four more years of it and there may be no recovery possible.

Lifetime federal court seats?

A law needs to be passed to allow for the poisoning of judges and the problem will be solved.

I think we will need to just start impeaching judges for gross incompetence!

This is so civilized though. I'm Italian. We do things differently. 😉
