Donald Trump will be able to fill more than 100 vacancies in the federal courts when he takes office next month.
Trump will walk into the White House as there are a total of 103 empty seats on courts, in addition to the lingering Supreme Court vacancy after the death of Antonin Scalia.
The triple-digit figure is staggeringly almost double the number President Barack Obama had to fill – 54- when he replaced George W. Bush in the Oval Office.
Conservative leaders are already hoping Trump will pick people to further push their ideals on a number of key issues – such as gun control, women’s health and rights, immigration, and voter restriction, the Washington Post reports.
