Chuck Schumer
Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed his plan to blunt Trump’s MAGA agenda.
Schumer told Politico’s Playbook that the judiciary will be the Democrats’ strongest “barrier” against Trump’s plans.
Last month Trump sounded the alarm as the Democrats tried to stack the courts with Marxist judges before the new Congress begins.
The 119th US Congress begins on January 3, 2025.
Republicans will control all three branches of government after Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide with huge down ballot victories.
The Republicans kept control of the House of Representatives and took control the Senate in a huge governmentwide sweep this election.
The US Supreme Court currently has 6 Conservative justices and 3 three liberal justices.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has rammed through a record number of judges on his way out the door.
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” Trump said.

Schumer oversaw the confirmation of his 235th judge last Friday, breaking the record set by Republican leader Mitch McConnell during the first Trump administration.
The Democrats are going to use activist Biden, Clinton and Obama judges to blunt Trump’s agenda.
Politico reported:
In less than a month, elected Democrats will find themselves with a lot less power in Washington, with a GOP-controlled House, Senate and White House resulting in a landscape in which their ability to tussle with President-elect DONALD TRUMP will be largely rhetorical.
But if Dem leaders have learned one thing from Republicans over the years, it’s that sometimes, the judiciary can be the best bulwark against the opposing party getting what it wants.
“I don’t know exactly what [Trump will] do. But I can tell you this: The judiciary will be one of our strongest — if not our strongest — barrier against what he does,” Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER told Playbook in an exclusive interview this week.
Four years ago, Schumer launched a plan (along with President JOE BIDEN) to use the party’s Senate majority to prioritize not just passing legislation, but also pushing through as many judicial nominations as possible.
The result?
“When we started out, we knew it would be a very difficult job to do more than Trump had done,” said Schumer. “But we did: We got 235 — more than a quarter of the federal judiciary was appointed by our Senate and by the president.”
