Following his first term, Donald Trump drastically reshaped the federal judiciary with 234 lifetime appointees. Now, as he sees an opportunity for a second term, he intends to push for more judicial appointments filled with inexperienced MAGA loyalists. Trump has already indicated a break from traditional practices by blocking the American Bar Association from vetting judicial nominees, suggesting a troubling shift towards consolidating power through a partisan judiciary that will support his agenda, despite past rulings from even his own appointees against him.
Trump's strategy is to fill the courts with young, inexperienced MAGA loyalists, circumventing traditional vetting processes to push his authoritarian agenda.
Federal judges, even those appointed by Trump, have become crucial in resisting his unlawful attempts, highlighting the judiciary's role in safeguarding democracy.
