President Donald J. Trump . . .  announced his third wave of Federal judicial appointments.  These appointments follow the successful nomination and confirmation of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States and the nomination of Judge Amul R. Thapar of Kentucky to serve as a Circuit Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  Specifically, the President today announced his nomination of these individuals to the following Federal judgeships. (For full bios of each nominee, see the complete White House Press Release, May 8, 2017.)

“Due to a Republican blockade against President Barack Obama’s later nominees, Trump has inherited more than 100 court vacancies, giving him the power to push the nation’s courts to the right. (Obama, by contrast, inherited 54 vacancies.) Monday’s batch of names suggests that Trump, or at least Trump’s advisers, are taking this job seriously. Thus far, they have selected a roster of 11 smart, talented, and committed conservatives who will likely enjoy smooth sailing in the GOP-controlled Senate. . . .

Like George W. Bush before him, Trump appears to favor younger nominees who will remain on the bench for decades—and serve as a farm team of future Supreme Court picks. With a friendly Senate and a defanged filibuster, this strategy has very little downside for the administration. It ensures that Trump’s nominees will shape American law for generations to come no matter how his own presidency ends. . .

Republicans have long understood that legal ideas have vitality only when they are supported by judges who can articulate and apply them over many decades.” (Excerpted from Slate, reporting by Micah Schwartzman and Mark Joseph Stern.)

Father, thank you so much for the wisdom You’re giving President Trump (and his advisers) to appoint judges who believe in interpreting the law as it was originally written, in contrast to unjust judges who legislate from the bench. Please give continued wisdom for appointing originalists for the rest of the vacancies–and which judge should be appointed to which court. Bless President Trump and his family, and protect them physically and spiritually. Also, please give President Trump wisdom in all the decisions he must make. Thank you, Lord, for what You’re going to do.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

PS. I seek to pray every day for President Trump, Mike Pence, and other government leaders.

I pray President Trump seeks first the kingdom of God in all that he does. And that he remembers that Love Never fails. I pray President Trump always remembers that there is no defense against God’s love. That evil must bow its knee to God’s Love. I pray that all who serve God through President Trump be reminded daily with out God we don’t even breathe, because God gives life to every living thing, money can’t buy life in heaven. Only the pure hearted live in heaven.
