Federal judges have a substantial amount of power when it comes to decisions about Americans’ reproductive health care and more.
Federal judges — those who preside over the US district courts and courts of appeals, along with the Supreme Court — are appointed by the president for a lifetime tenure. As a result, these judges have a substantial amount of power when it comes to decisions about reproductive health care for Americans, civil rights, voting rights, immigration, and more. Judges and their decisions can also extend a president’s legacy far beyond the term of commander in chief.
In 2016, for instance, now Attorney General Merrick Garland was nominated to fill the seat formerly held by the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly during the last year of President Obama’s second term. But then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked Garland’s nomination, saying the president chosen in the 2016 election should nominate the next Supreme Court justice.
