Trump has made a lot of appointments and now can make a lot more, Very Conservative ones.

But honest, how many judge positions are there?

And I thought they were lifelong positions.

Wouldn’t a president fill them all and the courts would just be D or Conservative across the country?

I KNOW I am missing something and getting some things wrong because that doesn’t sound right.

Are they NOT all for lifetime.

And can any be replaced?

There are over 600 district judges alone any one of which can stop an action or block a law from taking effect. Add the circuit court judges to be mix and well.

These are lifetime appts but about 30+ come open every year due to retirements, occasional step downs for family or other reasons, death, etc.
