While President Donald Trump has voiced frustration with Congress in passing legislation that grabs headlines, like tax reform or changes to Obamacare, there's one arena that the president has emerged victorious more so than any president in 45 years.
Trump's success in appointments to the federal judiciary will have a longer-lasting impact, and, as far as obstruction by Democrats, "there's nothing they can do about it," CNBC reported Friday.
"This Thanksgiving weekend the most grateful person in America should be President Trump. An unlikely set of benefactors has truly given him the political gift that will keep on giving," the article stated.
Conservative cases will not take a backseat now, either by Democratic roadblocks or feuds Trump has with fellow Republicans. And, he can thank two senators one Republican and one Democrat.
With a total of 13 federal judges Trump has appointed so far, he has the chance to fill twice as many seats as former President Barack Obama. Trump's early win with getting Justice Neil Gorsach nominated to the Supreme Court, has been followed by 12 more federal judges who have been confirmed as of Nov. 3.

“Blueslip Courtesy” is a slap in the people’s face. (and never has it been honored by any recent democrat)
If nothing else, PDT’s judicial picks are going to be worth it. SC next?
Kennedy and Ginsberg could retire at any time.
I would say the people who are grateful at finally getting some decent judges are the AMERICANS WHO LOVE THE COUNTRY, including Trump, and at least 50% of our population.
And while it’s good to see Senator Cruz voting for these judges, I would like him to explain how the country would have been better off with Hillary picking judges, at least that was where he stood from the convention through the next month.
PDJT may have appointed 12 but how many have been approved by the Senate? McConnell is slow-walking these nominations.
That very phrase has been around for, what? ten years now?
Drop him a line of thanks HERE
You can bet the liberals dumped on him.
