I think the Federalist Society approach is reasonable when dealing with a large number of lower court appointments

Today's lower court appointee is tomorrow's federal circuit court justice or SC nominee. Gorsuch's breathtaking legislation-from-the-bench calls into question all of the Federalist Society-approved judges McConnell has gotten confirmed in such a frenzy over the last 3 and a half years - how many of them agreed with Gorsuch's ruling? How many cases will ever be brought before the Supreme Court - those judges rulings will set precedent and go unchallenged for decades. We need to look for real, activist right-wing justices to counteract a virulent left-wing judiciary, not the "will he or won't he betray us" milksops we keep getting.

Exactly. It’s always been a fools errand to count GOP judge chickens. The only reason these “Trump judges” are touted so much is because the GOP Congress has delivered basically none of the GOP platform agenda to President Trump’s desk.
