Summary
Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer highlighted Biden-appointed judges’ crucial role in safeguarding Biden’s legacy and opposing Trump’s agenda after the Republican “trifecta” victory.
Schumer highlighted Biden’s appointment of 235 federal judges, surpassing Trump’s first-term total, as part of a strategy to counterbalance the conservative judiciary built during Trump’s presidency.
He warned that Trump’s allies would use the courts to challenge Biden’s legislative achievements and advance a “MAGA” agenda targeting women’s rights, the environment, unions, and consumers.
The judiciary, Schumer stated, remains Democrats’ strongest defense.
The best we’ll see is some delay until the appeal gets to the Supremes and Alito channels the voices of dead Founders to deliver a conclusion exactly the same as what the Heritage Foundation wants.
I can’t even find it in myself to make a sarcastic joke about Alito channeling the founding fathers for the heritage foundation. It’s just… Ugh.
