Path Clear for Trump's Supreme Court Nominee

Donald Trump's election means that Justice Antonin Scalia’s vacant seat will now be filled by the Republican Party.

But Trump will also have an opportunity to remake the federal judiciary and do so in a big way.

On the day that Garland’s nomination expires, 49 other Obama appointments to the federal bench will also expire: 27 awaiting hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee (4 to the U.S. Court of Appeals, 23 to the U.S. District Courts) and 22 on the Senate floor awaiting a vote (3 to the U.S. Court of Appeals, 17 to the U.S. District Court, and two the Court of International Trade).
