Main article: Donald Trump achievements

This article is a non-exhaustive list of U.S. President Donald Trump's achievements related to appointing conservative judges and thus influencing court decisions.

Supreme Court

Neil Gorsuch nomination

On January 31, 2017, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.[1][2] The nomination was well received by many conservatives.[3][4] Others, however, such as Andrew Schlafly, disagreed with the nomination due to concerns about Gorsuch's position on abortion.[5][6] The Senate ultimately confirmed Gorsuch on a vote of 54–45, even though the GOP was forced to initiate the nuclear option and lowering the vote threshold to overturn a filibuster for Supreme Court nominees due to Democrat obstructionism.[7] Gorsuch assumed office on April 10, 2017.[8] The appointment and confirmation of Gorsuch within Trump's first 100 days in office was considered a major achievement for Trump.[9] Immediately into his tenure on the Court, Gorsuch positioned himself as one of the most conservative justices.[10]

Notable Supreme Court cases

2017

Several Supreme Court cases in 2017 advanced conservative ideals. These cases included a ruling that a government ban on offensive trademarks was unconstitutional,[11] that states could not exclude churches from public aid for secular purposes[12] and affirmed that naturalized citizens could lose their citizenship if they gained it through lying.[13] The Court partially reinstated President Trump's travel ban pending hearings to be held in October.[14]

However, the Supreme Court made several decisions going against conservative ideals. The Court continued its expansion of the homosexual agenda by striking down an Arkansas law requiring biological parents to be names on birth cirtificates.[15] Additionally, the Court denied cert on a case on whether the Second Amendment applies to carrying guns outside the home, thus keeping in place a California law requiring a "good reason" to obtain a concealed carry permit.[16]
