President Trump has had an enormous impact on the U.S. Supreme Court, appointing Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. He has also claimed to have a huge influence on the lower courts as well, though that is much more difficult to quantify.

From a philosophical standpoint, that may be true, but not from a pure numbers perspective.

With The Show to talk in more detail about that was Russell Wheeler, visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. For many years, he worked for the Federal Judicial Center.
