from end of last bread - NRA:
.@realDonaldTrump is smashing the record for appointing judges to the federal appeals court. This is a victory for gun rights. Gun owners are facing overwhelming opposition from anti-gun activists and politicians, and this is EXACTLY what we need.

His 53 district judges place him well behind President Clinton, with 107, and President Kennedy, with 99. He also is behind Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush — though well ahead of President Obama’s 30 district judges at this point in his term.
All told, Mr. Trump has appointed 84 judges to the district, circuit and high courts out of a total of 870 Article III judgeships. There remain 132 vacancies.
The 84 appointments are nearly double the 43 that Mr. Obama had as of mid-October 2010.
Mr. Trump has been largely successful because Senate Republicans — particularly Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley — kept a Supreme Court seat and other vacancies unfilled in the final year of Mr. Obama’s tenure.
