I read this morning that the Obama and the Senate have successfully stacked the courts in just the first 6 years of his time in office..
Here’s the quote:
“Toobin noted that Obama has now nominated about a third of the nation’s federal judges — including Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — and nine of the nation’s 13 appeals circuits have a majority of judges chosen by Democratic presidents. When he took office, 10 of the circuits had a majority of Republican appointees.”
From this article, excuse the barf-inducing source..

And I’ll bet you that almost 100% of those nominees will toe the liberal line in all of their rulings.
He promised a “fundamental transformation” of this country, and he’s delivered in perhaps the sneakiest way possible - by having lifetime-appointed jurists do his bidding, even long after he’s left office.
There is a solution to that, though it won’t be easy. Congress creates ALL Federal courts under the Supreme Court.
A Constitution loving Congress would be able to reconfigure the arrangement and/or size of the courts to favor a movement back toward original intent.
