I keep hearing how Schlump has packed the federal courts with MAGA nut jobs, but never any actual numbers or sources until now. These numbers make it clear that while he did appoint a lot of judges, things are not skewed in his favor as severely as some might assume.

I also recall many news stories about judges he appointed ruling against him, which tells me that we should not assume that every judge he appointed is a Trump sycophant or a complete loon. Based on that and the nunbers in this post, I would say that while the federal court situation is not what we would prefer, it is not nearly as dire as some may think!
