President Donald Trump has nominated 50 candidates to lifetime appointments to the federal bench — including a man who asserted transgender children were evidence of “Satan’s plan,” one deemed unqualified by the American Bar Association and a handful of prolific bloggers.

Gidde yup!

This will be Trump's 'Legacy' even if Congress obstructs him on everything else.
