      No, the various federal benches. Which, incidentally, were the only federal positions that Trump had been filling with any urgency. Ambassadors and heads of departments all went unfilled, but not judges. So now the federal bench is stuffed with Trump appointees, and Democrats are only pushing back a bit.

      If they had any sense, they'd quadruple the size of the federal judiciary and stuff it back up. The size hasn't been increased in a while, and the workload per judge has been pilling up, so there's a good reason to do this, anyway.
