Press Analysis: Lifetime Appointments and George h.w

press analysis: Three of every four are white men, with few African-Americans and Hispanics in the mix, according to Metro News. The last president to nominate a similarly homogenous group was George H.W. Bush. So far, 91 per cent of Trump's nominees are white, and 81 per cent are male, an Associated Press analysis has found. The shift could prove to be one of Trump's most enduring legacies. That puts him in position to significantly reshape the courts that decide thousands of civil rights, environmental, criminal justice and other disputes across the country. These are lifetime appointments, and Trump has inherited both an unusually high number of vacancies and an aging population of judges. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
