    Updated Sep 24, 2018

    Elections have consequences. It’s frustrating to hear people say differently, despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary. One of the consequences, if not the most momentous, is who elected officials nominate and confirm to sit on our nation’s courts. Amongst these nominations and confirmations, the single most important decision is who sits on the Supreme Court. Not only is this the highest court in the land, but justices serve for life. The 2016 election outcome means that President Trump has already, less than two...
