WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Donald Trump knows he is creating a legacy with his judicial nominees that could last decades. Establishment media outlets are painting these nominees as a motley crew that Republican senators are supporting because they have no choice, but conservative leaders say that is far from the truth.
The president has nominated 56 picks thus far for roughly 145 judicial seats that are currently open, with another 20 seats that are already certain to open up in the next several months.
