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.

    It took, what? Six months to get highly classified materials back?

    And that’s one hell of slam dunk trial. “We found these documents. In his bathroom. They’re TS/SCI. He had no need for them.”

    But nope. Apparently prosecution is political even if the dude is guilty as fuck. (Protip: not prosecuting when you normally would is also “political”)
