Let’s quit worrying about Kavanaugh shall we...

There are currently 11 vacancies on the U.S. Courts of Appeals, 108 vacancies on the U.S. District Courts, 2 vacancies on the U.S. Court of International Trade, and 22 announced federal judicial vacancies that will occur before the end of Trump's first term (4 for the Courts of Appeals and 18 for District Courts).
Trump has not made any recess appointments to the federal courts. Unquote. [

84 appointments, 2 SC justices already placed by this administration, with 57 nominations in the wings, and a whopping 144 vacancies yet to be filled by the end of his administration, and ya’ll are worried about Kavanaugh...really!
Put into perspective, DJT’s administration has already affected our country’s judicial perspective for YEARS to come with appointments, to date, of 82 appeals/district jurists who didn’t go through the disgusting and humiliating public oversight kavanaugh endured, yet, these 82 jurists, in toto, solely based on the shear volume of their case load, could do far more judicial damage to this nation’s citizen(s) then 2 newly appointed SC justices with their paltry case load. What affect are 200 + appointees more going to do?
Further, the lower courts are basically ignoring past SC rulings, unless it benefits the lower courts perspective, w/o being held accountable for their actions, so basically it appears the highest court in our land is basically a worthless judicial entity!
