@ 2 Judicial Mayhem! We are in bigger dooky with the 45th's appointments

How White, Male, and Conservative the45th's Judicial Nominees Have Been The administration has installed a record-breaking number of judges, reshaping the courts for decades.Senate Republicans spent the end of Barack Obama’s term running out the clock on his picks for federal judges. (Remember Merrick Garland?) So when the 45th took office, he faced a nearly unprecedented number of vacant judgeships—and an opportunity to roll back gains in diversity and remake the federal courts for decades. The 45th POTUS has taken full advantage of the opportunity. In the first year of his presidency, he nominated 69 federal judges, more than any president since Reagan. A record-breaking 12 were appeals court judges. Since the start of the new year, The Potus has nominated nearly two dozen more judges. In total, 71 percent of his nominees have been white men—a fact that has not slipped past Democratic senators and liberal watchdog groups.

“It’s long past time that the judiciary starts looking like the America it represents,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), in a recent speech on the Senate floor. “After years of improvement, the Trump administration—like in so many other areas—is taking a giant step backward, this time, when it comes to the diversity of their nominations.”
