"To date, the Republican leader has confirmed two Supreme Court justices, 29 circuit judges and 53 district judges. He's confirmed so many circuit judges?many of whom are strongly anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ rights and anti-voting rights, and nearly all of whom are ideologues handpicked by the conservative Federalist Society?that 1 in 7 seats on the U.S. circuit courts are now filled by judges nominated by Trump."
Some might say, "But this is not healthy. The courts will now become distinctly conservative. They're supposed to be neutral and impartial."
To the contrary, the goal is to get the courts back to where they're supposed to be, namely, rightly interpreting our Constitution rather than creating new laws. Yet for decades, many of the courts have swung dangerously left, leading to rampant (and dangerous) judicial activism.
Judicial activism, in turn, has become a direct threat to our freedoms."
