This month, Donald Trump’s seemingly unstoppable judicial juggernaut—in his first year in office, he has pushed through a record-breaking number of federal judges with lifetime appointments—ran into either a tiny speed bump or a brick wall. First, the White House announced it would not move forward with the nominations of two spectacularly unqualified nominees. One of those, Brett Talley, has never tried a case and appears to have defended the “early KKK.” The other, Jeff Mateer, has referred to transgender children as a part of “Satan’s plan” and said same-sex marriage is “disgusting” and akin to polygamy and bestiality. The two were young, inexperienced and not suited to sit through a hearing, much less be confirmed to the judicial bench.
