He appointed a chief justice the night before Jefferson took the oath of office.
The term midnight judges is a derogatory Republican term referring to Federalist judges appointed at the last minute by President Adams. The new judges were known as the Midnight Judges because Adams was said to be signing their appointments at midnight prior to President Thomas Jefferson's inauguration.
Someone who is appointed very late, usually for political advantage. It's most associated with the Midnight Judges Act in which John Adams attempted to keep the court Federalist in Jefferson's administration.
