"Long after Donald Trump leaves the seat, his fingerprints will still be on our justice systemtwo, three, four decades from now."
Carrie Severino, the chief counsel and policy director for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, added:
"Executive orders don't outlast the president, legislation can change, but these judgeships last a long time."
As Special Council Robert Mueller's investigation produces more indictments, and Democrats potentially pursue impeachment, the Trump presidency's days are numbered.
But his judicial appointments will no doubt abate many of the progressive gains we have celebrated in the past and hamper future advancement.
We have seen, though, the power of grassroots activism achieve some pretty historic gains.
Demos means "the populace."
That's us.
It won't be easy, but we will continue to preserve and defend democracy as we always have.
In fact, even harder.
