During former President Donald Trump’s tenure, he appointed 234 judges, including three associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointments made at the highest level of the court are far from being record numbers, but political commentators have been predicting paradigm-shifting rulings like the ones handed down this week since the Trump-era nominations were made.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down the use of race in college admissions, more colloquially known as affirmative action. On Friday, another ruling invalidated the Biden administration’s student loan debt forgiveness program.
