WASHINGTON ― Senate Republicans on Wednesday confirmed President Donald Trump’s 200th lifetime federal judge, a number higher than any president has confirmed in a first term in decades.
Wilson is Trump’s 53rd appeals court judge.
Wilson is the perfect embodiment of a Trump appeals court judge.
“Trump has prioritized ideological extremism over all else, and the result is the least diverse group of judges in decades, further undermining the legitimacy of our courts,” said Chris King, chief counsel of Demand Justice, a progressive judicial advocacy group.
Even if Trump doesn’t confirm any more judges, his 53 relatively young appeals court judges will have an impact on jurisprudence, though it will be modest, speculated Wheeler.
