George Conway posits that President Trump's delay in nominating federal judges in his second term—contrasted with his earlier urgency in 2017—can be attributed to his tensions with Leonard Leo, co-chairman of the Federalist Society. This organization played a pivotal role in court appointments during Trump's first term. Conway's insights came during his appearance on MSNBC's "All In" with Chris Hayes, who pointed out the increasingly lawless nature of Trump's actions, leading to frequent judicial defeats, highlighting the urgent need for loyal appointees in the judiciary amidst numerous vacancies.
Conway theorizes that Trump's reduced urgency in judicial nominations stems from his conflict with Leonard Leo, impacting the recommendation process crucial in previous appointments.
Hays discussed how Trump's recent actions appear increasingly lawless, with courts frequently ruling against his administration, indicating a need for more compliant judges.
