WSJ Editorial Board: Revitalizing the Federal Courts
Trump and the GOP Senate elevate a new judicial generation.
Citat:
President Trump is far from a shoo-in for re-election, but win or lose in 2020 his legacy already includes advancing a new generation of highly professional, constitutional federal judges. Working with the Federalist Society on selecting nominees, and with Mitch McConnell leading a largely unified Republican Senate on confirmations, Mr. Trump is reshaping the judiciary to protect fundamental liberties and the original meaning of the Constitution.
In addition to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, Mr. Trump has appointed and the upper chamber has confirmed 187 judges to the federal bench in his first three years. This includes 133 district-court judges who try federal cases such as securities fraud, immigration and antitrust.

Citat:
When Mr. Trump took office, Democratic appointees made up a majority on nine of the 13 circuit courts. In 2019 Mr. Trump’s appointments flipped three appellate courts: the Second Circuit, which covers New York, Vermont and Connecticut; the Third Circuit, which covers Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and the Eleventh Circuit, which covers Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Seven circuits now have a majority of Republican appointees, according to Judiciary Tracker.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers most of the Western U.S. and is especially influential for immigration law, has been characterized for decades by liberal judicial overreach. Yet thanks to recent Senate confirmations, the Ninth Circuit is now closely divided with 16 Democratic appointees and 13 Republican appointees. Expect fewer headlines featuring nationwide injunctions out of San Francisco.
