"According to NYT's research, Trump's judges have reversed rulings from other judges, thus clearing the way for his policies. The report continued: But the data suggests that in the 13 appellate courts, there is increasingly such a thing as a Trump judge. The president's appointees voted to allow his policies to take effect 133 times and voted against them only 12 times."
"When you look at the numbers, including the numbers in this New York Times article about how his superstar appellate judges have voted 133 to 12 in his favor, the actual numbers are that Trump has a loss rate democracy, and the Constitution, and we at Democracy Defenders Fund, and our colleagues have been winning overall, 66% of the cases. And in many of the most high-profile cases I'll go through them the victory rate has been higher."
"But the data suggests that in the 13 appellate courts, there is increasingly such a thing as a Trump judge. The president's appointees voted to allow his policies to take effect 133 times and voted against them only 12 times. Ninety-two percent of their total votes were in favor of the administration. That figure far outstrips support for Mr. Trump's agenda from appeals court judges appointed by other Republican presidents, and from Mr. Trump's appointees to the district courts."
Data counting votes by Trump-appointed appellate judges across 13 circuits showed 133 votes allowing administration policies and 12 votes opposing them, a 92% pro-administration rate. Norm Eisen challenged that narrow count and offered alternative aggregated tallies tied to Democracy Defenders Fund and allied efforts indicating challengers won about 66% of cases overall. Eisen asserted that including immigration cases omitted from the narrower set raises the challengers' success rate to roughly 86%. The disagreement centers on different case selections and counting methods, producing sharply different impressions of how often courts uphold administration policies.
