Abstract

When Donald Trump was elected, Uncle Harry predicted that the next four years would be awful but there would be only two things that couldn't be undone even if the Democrats won in 2020: the destruction Trump would wreak on the environment and the justices he would put on the Supreme Court. Trump's three Supreme Court appointments (Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett) are so far to the right that Chief Justice John Roberts is now a centrist. Uncle Harry didn't mention the lower courts, but let's not forget that Trump has nominated and the Senate has confirmed 218 federal judges to lifetime appointments; that's a quarter of the federal judge total.
