In addition, Obama didn't leave Trump 142 judicial vacancies. It was 104 as of Jan. 1, 2017, Russell Wheeler says, including the vacancy on SCOTUS. As is obvious, Obama didn't choose to hand him those picks; McConnell blocked Garland and many of Obama's nominees to lower courts. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump isn't close to the record for federal judges appointed, let alone having set "a record by far." Per Russell Wheeler of the Brookings Institution, who tracks this data, Reagan got 373 judges confirmed, Clinton 371. Trump could maybe get there in two terms, but he's way off. https://t.co/cSrVtvwtzS — PolitiTweet.org

This is a case where Trump could accurately make a narrower boast: Wheeler noted in August that Trump had set a record for a) appeals court judges confirmed b) through that point in a president's first term. Instead, he keeps claiming he's set the overall record for all judges. — PolitiTweet.org
