A professor envisioned a legal revolution. It happened, but not how he thought
Canaan has never seemed further away. It was Donald Trump to whom voters granted the power to transform the judiciary, which he did by appointing three judges to the Supreme Court and hundreds more to the courts below it. The conservative legal movement’s decadeslong quest to push the courts to the right, which would have ended in ignominy and failure had Clinton won, culminated in triumph instead.
A professor envisioned a legal revolution. It happened, but not how he thought Donald Trump was granted the power to transform the judiciary through his appointments to the Supreme Court and lower courts. The conservative legal movement’s long-standing goal of shifting the courts to the right culminated in success. This outcome contrasted sharply with expectations had a different candidate won the election.
- Donald Trump appointed three judges to the Supreme Court and many more to lower courts.
- These appointments transformed the judiciary.
- The conservative legal movement achieved its decadeslong goal of pushing courts to the right.
- This outcome was a triumph, unlike what might have occurred if Clinton had won.
