This paper follows an earlier work comparing Trump's first-term judges to Bush and Obama judges based on "productivity, quality and independence," and concluding that Trump's nominees "performed as well, if not better." But every attention-seeking spectacle invites its own sequel to up to the stakes. With the benefit of a few more years of Biden judges, the authors returned to the subject with a more audacious pull quote. Instead of "as well, if not better," this time the Trump judges "dominate" Biden's.
