Second only to President Donald Trump's historic first 100 days of his second term, from a newsworthy perspective, has been the voracity with which Democrat-nominated federal district judges have attempted — unconstitutionally so — to obstruct this president at every politically driven opportunity.

On Thursday, Trump took the first step of his second term to right the federal district court system.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced his nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to serve as a judge on the Cincinnati-based Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which hears cases from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee. 

I am pleased to announce the nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Whitney has been serving the Great People of Tennessee, in the Attorney General’s Office, where she has strongly litigated in Court to protect Citizens from Federal Government Overreach. 

A former Co-Captain of the Princeton University Women’s Basketball Team, Whitney is a staunch defender of Girls’ and Women’s Sports. She has a long history of working for Judges and Justices who respect the RULE OF LAW, and protect our Constitution, including Justice Samuel Alito and two fine Supreme Court Justices I appointed in my First Term. Whitney is a Fighter who will inspire confidence in our Legal System. Thank you Whitney!

The position became available after Karla M. Campbell, former President Joe Biden’s nominee to the appeals court, failed to secure confirmation before Biden left office. While I'm unfamiliar with Campbell, she's reportedly known in part for her work in civil litigation, which, and call me a skeptic, sounds a whole lot like "civil justice" — leftist-style. 

Anyway, Hermandorfer currently serves as the Director of the Strategic Litigation Unit in the Tennessee Attorney General's office. Here's more:

As a member of [Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan] Skrmetti’s, Hermandorfer defended the state’s near-total ban on abortion and challenged a Biden-era rule barring discrimination against transgender students by federally funded schools and colleges.

Before working at the attorney general’s office, she worked at Washington-based Williams & Connolly LLP, where she focused on appellate and administrative-law litigation.

Hermandorfer has clerked for three members of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, including Justice Samuel Alito in 2018 and Justice Amy Coney Barrett during her inaugural 2020 term.

Prior to that, she clerked for then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the District of Columbia Circuit and Judge Richard Leon, also on the District Court for the District of Columbia.

Imagine for a nanosecond the type of nominee a President Kamala Harris would have put forth, and what background and "qualifications" he or she (not to be assumptive about pronoun selection, my Democrat friends) would have had. Shudder at the thought? Me, too.

Incidentally, Trump made 234 judicial appointments during his first term in office, including three members of the Supreme Court’s 6–3 conservative majority. Hopefully, Whitney Hermandorfer is the first among what will be just as many in Trump's second term — if not more.
