Trump's first slate of lower-court judges is big league

Adam Liptak reports that President Trump is announcing 10 lower-court judicial nominees (so far only District Judge Amul Thapar's elevation to the Sixth Circuit was the only nomination besides that of Justice Neil Gorsuch). Jonathan Adler, who appeared with me Saturday on a panel at the Cato Institute's 40th anniversary celebration, is quoted as saying that they're "'incredibly strong nominees' who were within the judicial mainstream and should 'have an intellectual influence on their courts.'" As they say in Congress, I wish to associate myself with that analysis.
