He’s not Obama’s favorite Republican for nothin’

There is one way a President can ensure his legacy lives on long after he leaves office, and that’s through judicial appointments, especially to the Supreme Court. Barack Obama has cemented two liberal, activist judges on the Supreme Court, likely to remain there for the next 30 years or more.
