00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.080
President Trump's impact on the federal judiciary will be felt

2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.990
for decades, regardless of whether he wins re election

3
00:00:07.990 --> 00:00:10.669
in November. Trump last week saw the Senate confirmed

4
00:00:10.669 --> 00:00:14.390
his 2/100 judicial appointment, marking a significant milestone for

5
00:00:14.390 --> 00:00:18.149
the administration to conservative legal movement and Senate Majority Leader

6
00:00:18.149 --> 00:00:20.769
Mitch McConnell, who has worked furiously to remake the

7
00:00:20.769 --> 00:00:23.800
courts. Not since Jimmy Carter has a president appointed

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.420
as many federal judges at this point in his first

9
00:00:26.429 --> 00:00:29.829
term, Trump has appointed 53 judges to the influential

10
00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:32.359
Court of Appeals, the last stop for cases before

11
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.509
the Supreme Court filling 30% of its seats with handpicked

12
00:00:35.520 --> 
conservatives.
