cls74 Posted December 12, 2019 at 01:53 PM Share Posted December 12, 2019 at 01:53 PM https://www.foxnews.com/politics/two-trump-ninth-circuit-nominees-confirmed-over-objections-of-california-senators Trump secures 50th appellate court appointment, with another 9th Circuit judge confirmed The Republican-controlled Senate on Wednesday afternoon confirmed Lawrence VanDyke to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, marking President Trump's 50th successful appellate court appointment in just three years in office, and his second to the historically liberal 9th Circuit in as many days. By contrast, President Barack Obama nominated a total of 55 circuit judges who were confirmed over eight years -- and Obama's nominees were, on average, approximately ten years older. The White House has dramatically transformed the 9th Circuit, a powerful court with jurisdiction over nine states and Guam that has long been a thorn in the president's side. Of the 30 active seats on the 9th Circuit, 10 have now been appointed by Trump, and 14 by Republican presidents. Only nine of the court's 19 semi-retired "senior status" judges were appointed by Democrats, with 10 by Republicans. That's a major change from early last year, when only six of the active judges on the 9th Circuit were chosen by Republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanc Posted December 12, 2019 at 02:19 PM Share Posted December 12, 2019 at 02:19 PM It's not just that Trump's judges are appointed by a Republican president, it the fact that they are original intent Constitutionalist judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted December 12, 2019 at 10:46 PM Share Posted December 12, 2019 at 10:46 PM This reshaping of the courts alone gets Trump my support. If he can get one more SCOTUS appointment that will be a the whipped topping, and if he gets two more SCOTUS appointments that will be the cherry on top!

ragsbo Posted December 13, 2019 at 01:27 AM Share Posted December 13, 2019 at 01:27 AM The judges the president puts on the bench is where he has the most long time effect on the country. These are life time appointments so they will be there long after Trump is gone, in 2024! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
