Column: Trump having his revenge on California as he remakes once-liberal 9th Circuit court

The U.S. Senate confirmed two more Trump nominees to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, a powerful federal appeals court long regarded as a liberal bastion. (The reality of that reputation has starkly waned in recent years, but more on that below.)

Judges Lawrence VanDyke and Patrick Bumatay, who are both in their 40s, will serve lifetime appointments. Their ascent to the bench means that Trump appointees now account for more than a third of the active judges on the very same court that the president has repeatedly attacked as being adversarial to his agenda.

This is why he needs another term

Exactly

[Bearcatrp]

Nah, 2 more terms to fix the courts.

We need to keep the Senate too, otherwise the judicial appointments will grind to a halt. If you don't think the dems would block and sidetrack every single one, especially for the Supreme Court, you're dreaming.

Keep Senate and retake house

No.

We need to knock the Progressives back on their heels.

We need to do to them what the Tories did to labor, win an unprecedented majority, winning districts that have been voting left for 100 years.

We need them shocked, outraged, and desperate.

Because when they get desperate they get stupid.

All for it

Agree.

[Holland&Holland]

That would be nice.

Trump’s Judges Have Flipped 3 Appeals Courts to Majority GOP-Appointed

President Trump’s nominations to the federal courts have flipped three circuits making them majority Republican-appointed, lowered the age of GOP-appointed judges by 14 years, and reshaped the judiciary for decades to come, according to a series of new reports.

When Trump took office in January 2017, only four of the 13 U.S. appeals courts had a majority of Republican-appointed judges. Today, seven of the 13 appeals courts do.

This year alone, the Second, Third and 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have flipped from majority Democratic-nominated to majority Republican-nominated, according to Law.com.

And thanks to Mitch for making it his priority

Mr. McConnel has been quite impressive lately. Maybe Mitch 2024?

[yukonjasper]

Won't he be 112 years old by then?
