Donald Trump has secured the future of our American courts

Two years ago, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said at his Senate confirmation hearing, “If judges were just secret legislatures declaring not what the law is but what they would like it to be, the very idea of a government by the people and for the people would be at risk.â€
Today, we celebrate the anniversary of his confirmation and honor the scores of jurists appointed by President Trump who serve faithfully to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. President Trump knows this is a priority for voters. Before the 2016 election, 65 percent of voters said Supreme Court appointments were “very important†to their vote. Ahead of last year’s midterm elections, 76 percent of voters said the same.
President Trump kept his promise to the American people by choosing two strong jurists for the nation’s highest court: Justices Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. That was just the beginning. His first term in office has been marked by a historic reshaping of the federal judiciary at an incredible pace: he has delivered 93 federal judges so far, including two Supreme Court justices, 37 circuit court judges, a record breaking 30 of which were confirmed during his first two years, and 54 district court judges.
