Trump Hits 40 Appeals Court Appointments as Lee Confirmed (1)

Kenneth Lee became President Donald Trump’s 40th appeals court nominee to win confirmation, a milestone not reached by his three immediate predecessors until their second terms.

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the first generation South Korean immigrant and Jenner & Block partner, 52 to 45, to a seat on the California-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Trump and his Senate Republican allies have pushed an aggressive confirmation agenda in a bid to reshape the federal judiciary with conservatives.

With the Lee vote, Trump has recorded 40 circuit court appointments four months past the midway point of taking office. Democrats Bill Clinton and Obama and Republican George W. Bush didn’t hit the mark until their second terms.

Trump has been the beneficiary of a Republican Party in sync with his judicial strategy and a pool of nominees ready to fill vacancies, a number of which were held open by the GOP-led Senate during the Obama years.

The Federalist Society has been influential in Trump’s judicial selections, many of whom are members of the conservative group.
