Trump: We Are on Track to Have More Judges Confirmed This Year than in the Prior Two Years Combined

‘Later today the Senate will vote on our 150th new judge’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “The average age of my newly appointed circuit court judges is less than 50. They're young, smart. That’s ten years younger than President Obama’s nominees. The pace of appointments is only accelerating, it’s going very quickly. And you know, at some point we're going to have to slow it down because we're not going to have any openings, you know that. But we will find them. We'll find them. We'll find them. Would you like to add a few judges? That wouldn't be a bad idea. How about adding another hundred or so. But we're on track to have more judges confirmed this year than in the prior two years combined for us and we will be a record in history, a record, the number of judges that we're getting in just a short period of time. Once all pending nominations are confirmed, I will have appointed about 219 judges. And that number will go up very substantially from there.”
