The Senate confirmed two more of President Trump’s judicial nominees to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.

In a 90-0 vote, Michael Scudder, a Chicago-based lawyer, was cleared and Amy St. Eve, a judge for the Northern District of Illinois, was confirmed by a 91-0 vote.

The Senate plans to vote on the confirmation of two other judicial nominees, one for the 6th and one for the 10th circuit, on Tuesday in a push by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, to reshape the federal bench.

If the Senate also confirms Mr. Trump’s two nominees on Tuesday, he will have had 21 judges confirmed to the circuit courts since his inauguration.

True except for appeals court judges. He’ll have 21 by tomorrow confirmed. Obama only got 55 in eight years.

Judges are a tough call. You can get someone who has a great track record, and then they seem to go South.

Trump will do the best he can and hope for the best.

Obama made the worst appointments he could, and hoped for damaging rulings.

Obama was pretty effective at it, unfortunately. My theory is that he had a lot of help from law schools and professional lawyers.

I agree.

There are other special interest Leftist legal groups out there, such as the ACLU and I’d imagine the subversive anarchist groups who always know who the worst judges are.
