“Federal judges are retiring at a historically slow pace at the onset of President Donald Trump’s second term, most strikingly among those appointed by his Republican predecessors,” Bloomberg Law reports.“Few of the roughly 70 Republican-appointed judges eligible to take a form of partial retirement or completely step down from the bench as of June 1 have done so, denying Trump the chance to pick their replacement.”“The lack of new vacancies is thwarting Trump’s plans to continue replacing an older and more moderate generation of Republican-appointees with younger and even more conservative jurists.”
