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.
They have a judicial highway to a captured SCOTUS. Not a single other judge in the country matters in regards to rulings about government power. The Democrats had years to fix it and instead they gave the corporations more welfare.
