and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn't have that.

This is why it's so vital to vote. Trump nominated (and got elected) six of the seventeen Fifth Circuit members, the most of any president from Reagan onward for that particular court. GW Bush and Reagan nominated five combined.

The president we elect will get to essentially decide who gets to be in which federal court. So much is at stake, as the judiciary threatens to rot from the top down.

The 3 Supreme Court appointments Trump got (ACB, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch)in his one term was also just shy of Reagan's 4 (william rehnquist to chief, Sandra day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy). Bush jr replaced rehnquist and Sandra with current shitstains John Roberts, and Samuel Alito.
