Conway: We’re Seeing Few Judicial Appointments as Opposed to Eight Years Ago, Because Those People Haven’t Displayed Loyalty to Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HAYES: “Yeah. I mean, one of the things, I mean, one of the things we’re seeing this time around, right, is Trump is doing things that are so flagrantly lawless, just so sort of facially wrong, that that particularly the lower court level district courts, there’s not really just a lot of room for the judge to even really apply much ideology. Like you have broken the law. The law doesn’t do it. And what he wants is he just wants made men and women men more. And you made this point that I thought was so interesting because one of the great weird things about the first part of this term for Trump is an absence of judicial nominees. And you you sort of connected these dots about why you think that’s the case and what it has to do with his beef with leonard. Leo. Yeah.”

CONWAY: “It’s a bit of a theory, and the theory needs to be proven out. I think reporters can do it. It’s like theoretical physics. And then you have to test the proposition. But I think part of the reason why we’re seeing so few judicial appointments thus far, as opposed to the flood that Leonard Leo and Don McGahn gave us eight years ago, is that most of the people who are in the conservative legal establishment, who are qualified to become judges, whether or not you like them or not, right. They’re not qualified to Trump because they haven’t displayed their loyalty. And if they have that Federalist Society credential, I think I think Stephen Miller said today, we’re not we’re not picking people from the Federalist Society anymore. So they don’t really have a pipeline, and they really have a limited pool of people. Trump’s own personal, yes, criminal lawyers. Well, there are a lot of them because he committed a lot of crimes. But that’s still not enough to fill the federal judiciary. And eileen cannon well, she’s only one person, so you know, he doesn’t he doesn’t have a long list to pick from.”
