President Donald Trump is poised to roll out his first major tranche of judicial nominees on Monday, capitalizing on the successful confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court last month and an unusually high number of court vacancies that will allow him to remake the federal judiciary.
Two of the nominees who will be unveiled Monday were on the list of Trump’s potential Supreme Court justices and will likely come under scrutiny by Democrats because of that inclusion: Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen, who will be nominated to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, and Justice David Stras, who sits on the Minnesota Supreme Court and is Trump’s pick to sit on the 8th Circuit.
