Zusammenfassung:The authors analyze the decisional patterns of the federal district judges appointed by President Obama since 2009. Among other things, they find that, while the Obama cohort is somewhat more liberal than the appointees of recent GOP presidents, still it is not as liberal as many of his critics have argued. Indeed, the Obama trial judges appear to be deciding cases as moderate, mainstream Democrats. Adapted from the source document.
