Thread: Trump and Senate Breaking Records for the Confirmation of Conservative Judges - And Why It Matters

One of the most important duties entrusted to our President and Senators is nominating and confirming competent and qualified judges for the federal courts. This task has a multi-generational impact, as federal judges serve a life-long tenure—sometimes spanning more than half a century—and will render opinions on a sweeping number of legal issues over the course of that tenure.

Because of the significant importance of this task, our Founders saw fit to entrust both the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch with a portion of the responsibility for carrying it out. The President must choose qualified nominees, and the Senate must consider whether to confirm those nominees. The degree to which the President and Senate commit themselves to this task directly affects how great an impact will be made.

Fortunately, President Trump and the current U.S. Senate have shown a tremendous commitment to this priority, and as a result, the confirmation of qualified federal judges has constituted perhaps the most efficient corner of the federal government over the last year.

Consider these facts.

Since taking office, President Trump has nominated 13 judges for the circuit courts who have subsequently been confirmed by the U.S. Senate. That includes 12 circuit judges confirmed in the first year of his presidency—a record number.

In addition, 10 district court judges have been confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Those two numbers would be impressive enough on their own, but they exist against the backdrop of the most significant achievement in this area which the ACLJ championed —the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.

There are two main reasons for this significant success.

First, President Trump has shown a consistent commitment to this cause dating back to his campaign, during which he took the unprecedented step of releasing a “short list” of judges he would consider appointing in the wake of a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court. He has since added names to that list, and has also swiftly chosen qualified nominees for openings at all levels of the federal courts.

Next, the Senate Judiciary Committee—under the direction of Chairman Chuck Grassley...

P.S. I received my check stub via email today. My Federal taxes decreased by $151.00 (and change)! Another campaign promise to cut taxes kept! Whoop!

Even if Trump is one and done, this has been planted by God for the future.
