Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell spent years nominating and confirming hundreds of far-right, extremist judges to the Supreme Court and to lower federal courts – and we continue to witness the disastrous consequences as they lay waste to our fundamental rights through their disregard for the law in order to impose their extremist beliefs on the rest of the nation.
