In early November, during the impeachment inquiry against him, President Donald Trump threw a celebration in the East Room of the White House.

The guests: a group of Senate Republicans and Leonard Leo, head of The Federalist Society. The occasion: President Trump’s appointing 44 federal appeals court judges – about one-quarter of the entire appeals court bench.

The Trump administration and Senate Republicans – along with The Federalist Society, the conservative legal group tasked by the administration with identifying and vetting reliably conservative nominees – have over the past three years developed a pipeline of relentless efficiency for lifetime judicial appointments...

The silver lining to the shampeachment: the fact that the left has let the judicial nominees go on to confirmation with hardly a peep of demagoguery. Also, the left has failed to demagogue about Trumps’s agenda.

Federalist Society didn’t even exist until 1982. Incredible how quickly it grew into such an influential organization.

Add the trade deal accomplishments, the job numbers, the stock market numbers.

The Dem mantra has been for years "It's the economy stupid".

They couldn't touch Trump.

When Trump is re-elected, that will continue and he will also certainly name one or two more SCOTUS Justices in a second term.

Fat lot of good it does us when the “rule of law” has been trashed. Anyone hear of any indictments lately? The commies just go on their merry way.

I think Justice Ginsburg's spite tour-after her last major hospitalization-backfired on her.

The left's insistence on preserving her in amber, and pretending she's immortal, is going to come back to haunt them, IMO.
