President Donald Trump’s impact on the federal judiciary will be felt for decades, regardless of whether he wins reelection in November.

Trump last week saw the Senate confirm his 200th judicial appointment, marking a significant milestone for the administration, the conservative legal movement, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has worked furiously to remake the courts. Not since Jimmy Carter has a president appointed as many federal judges at this point in his first term. 

Trump has appointed 53 judges to the influential courts of appeals, the last stop for cases before the Supreme Court, filling 30% of its seats with hand-picked conservatives. Read Full Story

President Donald Trump in a late-night tweet said it is sad to see states allowing “wise guys, anarchists & looters” to topple statues and monuments during protests.

Interior Secretary David Bernhardt criticized protestors in Washington, D.C., after a tense Monday night of demonstrations that saw protestors attempt to topple the statue of President Jackson in Lafayette Square.

“I just left Lafayette Square where another so called ‘peaceful protest’ led to destruction tonight,” Bernhardt tweeted just before 11 p.m. Monday. “Let me be clear: we will not bow to anarchists. Law and order will prevail, and justice will be served.”

In the past couple of weeks, statues of Confederate soldiers and generals have been toppled across the country, including in D.C. Many believe that Jackson, who owned well over a 100 slaves and signed into law the Indian Removal Act of 1830, should not be celebrated, much less commemorated. Read Full Story
