One of the most profound and lasting impacts of the Trump presidency was the reshaping of the federal judiciary. With over 230 judges appointed, including three Supreme Court justices, constitutional originalism found a powerful resurgence.

Today, we see the fruits of that labor. Courts are striking down regulatory overreach, defending free speech, and reining in federal agencies that had long operated unchecked. The judicial branch is steadily returning to its rightful role: interpreting law, not making it.

For conservatives, this is a reminder of how crucial elections are — not just for four years, but for a generation. The defense of liberty often happens in courtrooms long after the ballots are counted.
