One of the best things about Obama's win last night

One of the best parts of the Obama win is that when he leaves office in January of 2017, it means that a Democratic president will have appointed federal judges for 16 of the previous 24 years. When Bush left office, every federal court, save one, was controlled by Republican appointed judges. I’m guessing that will have changed when Obama leaves office.
