Donald Trump promises to appoint 'rock solid constitutional conservative' judges if elected president
Former President Donald Trump announced Sunday, if he is elected president in 2024, he will to pack courts with conservative judges — which he has already done.
Former GOP prosecutor Ron Filipkowski shared a clip of the former president's speech, writing, "Trump says if elected he will appoint federal judges just like Clarence Thomas."
The 2024 hopeful emphasized, "My administration will, again, adopt rock solid constitutional conservatives to be federal bench justices and judges."

Trump went on to praise the late SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia — who was nominated by former President Ronald Reagan — and current Justice Clarence Thomas, who is now under scrutiny for accepting secret gifts from megadonor and GOP billionaire Harlan Crow over the last two decades.
Last year, Rolling Stone reported although Trump no longer holds office, the MAGA candidate's "legacy of running roughshod over settled law and general disruption of norms will go on for generations because he managed to pack the courts with 226 judges who will sit in judgment for decades due to lifetime appointments."
Regarding the impact of Trump's prior court appointees, Rolling Stone's Jay Michaelson wrote, "For a start, they're 84 percent white and 76 percent male, well out of proportion to the population, which is 58 percent non-Hispanic white, and 50 percent male. (At the appellate-court level, the slant is even greater: 43 of Trump’s 54 appointees are men,) he wrote before commenting, 'Keep that in mind the next time a court decides something about women's rights to control their bodies.'"
Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who attempted to place a national ban on the popular abortion medication mifepristone — but was blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court – is a Trump-appointed judge.
Kacsmaryk has been called the "most lawless jurist in the country."
