Good morning! 
Trump's presidency is ending in a few weeks. But the more than 230 people he put into lifetime federal judgeships will be shaping the nation’s law for decades.
Most of them are white, male, right-wing ideologues. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-federal-courts-judges_n_5fe223d6c5b6e1ce83364da6?k33i

How will our federal courts look different after Trump is gone? He has confirmed...
3 Supreme Court justices
54 appeals court judges
174 district court judges
3 judges on Court of Intl Trade
All are lifetime appts.

Compared to recent past presidents, Trump has confirmed more lifetime federal judges than Barack Obama (175), George W. Bush (206) and Bill Clinton (204) did in their first terms.
How did he get so many judges confirmed?
Mitch McConnell.
Not only did McConnell make confirming Trump's judges his #1 priority, but he blocked Obama's court picks for years so he could keep those seats vacant for a future GOP president to fill. Enter Trump.
