Trump's First Term Reshaped Federal Courts. What Can We Expect From His Second?
Briefly

Trump's judicial legacy is unprecedented in its scale and impact, with 234 judges confirmed, shifting the judiciary toward conservative interpretations that heavily influenced issues like reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights.
The court's recent decisions, such as Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, have dismantled long-standing federal protections for abortion, highlighting the lasting effects of Trump's judicial appointments.
Legal experts emphasize that while Trump may face challenges in his second term with fewer vacancies, the groundwork laid by his first-term judges will remain influential in shaping future policies.
Despite the potential for a second term, Trump's administration will likely encounter a judiciary that has been heavily altered in favor of conservative ideologies, affecting checks on executive power.
