Now let's not get nasty....
To make it up, here's an article I wasn't going to post, but since we all need as much good news as possible: https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...7#post23022357

Hopefully, by this time tomorrow, CA9's active judges will look like:
DDDDD DDDDD DDDDD D RRRRR R RRRRR Dems having a roughly 3:2 advantage. We're closing in! With 4 more years, we'll be at rough parity.

It sure won't be a sure thing for them anymore, they had better think twice and thrice now before attempting to get around the constitution with activist judges. Over reach can blow up in their faces big time!

Only 2 more openings currently on CA9: one has Daniel Bress nominated for it, awaiting action in the S. Judiciary Cmte, but the other one does not have a nominee yet.

But remember, this score card we're keeping is only re. "active" judges, the only ones who can serve on an en banc panel. The odds ratio for 3-judge panels, which can have "senior" judges, is different. I'll let someone else work up the numbers on that.

Can someone give me the “CA9th for Dummies” version of why we’re talking about 29 judges but this page says there are 45 (it shows 43 but hasn’t been updated yet to include the last two appointments).

Am I correct to say from wikis current list of judges on the 9th there will be nearly 25 out of 47 seats occupied by a 70+ year old. Is that a typical retirement age for a judge? Seems like a large group of Baby Boomers will retire soon. What a bonanza!

Judge Bea? He's a GWB appointee who was in the minority in the Peruta en banc decision, so very pro-2A.
However, he is also 85 years old. Taking senior status now means that his active seat can be filled by someone nearly half his age, and we won't have to worry about the seat opening up under a Democratic president and/or Senate anytime soon. |

EDIT: I assumed the question was in reference to Bumatay
I couldn't find anything in reference to him and the 2A, but I did find the judges he clerked for, which can be an indicator of how someone leans: Timothy M. Tymkovich, Chief United States Circuit Judge: 10th CA, George W. Bush appointee. https://www.scotusblog.com/2009/07/a...-say-too-much/ Quote:
Sandra L. Townes, former United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, George W. Bush appointee. (no clear 2A record) That's all I can find. It's about as speculative as it gets, so read into it what you will. Last edited by tenemae; 06-13-2019 at 10:38 PM.. |

I think SS87 was referring to district judge nominee "Patrick J. Bumatay, an openly gay assistant U.S. attorney..."

That's exactly what I'm referring to. Articles that immediately hit identity politics and intersectionality first are typical indicators of leftist ideology. To them, being gay is more important than being a constitutional judge. If that is how he is being sold, then I have concern about him being progressive.

I wouldn't worry about Patrick Bumatay. Everything indicates that he would be a very conservative judge:

If we won Nat'l Recip, but didn't fill those openings, we'd quite likely lose Nat'l Recip when it was challenged in fed cts. The federal courts, esp courts of appeal, are critical since SCOTUS takes so few cases.

Bress passed S. Judiciary Cmte vote along party lines and heads to S. floor vote next.
Neither Harris nor Feinstein blue slipped him and both voted against him. This is what winning looks like. https://www.latimes.com/nation/polit...620-story.html

Excellent news! So is that going to get us to 15-14 if I'm counting correctly? And there are still quite a few liberal judges in their 70s, 80s and even 90s on the court.
Edit: both of these are Republican appointees so it won't change the balance, but will give us some younger and more solid conservatives.

So Bress works with Paul Clement at K&E and clerked for Scalia...sounds good so far.
As for him having spent so much time in DC and therefor not representing CA "values"...you know who else has spent most of their life in DC? Feinstein. Maybe she doesn't have the "connection" to represent CA either? |

Judge Bybee was appointed by Bush and is considered by some to be a conservative (I don't know that this is necessarily the case).
Bybee's semi-retirement and replacement by a Trump appointee may not yield a major change in the makeup of the 9th Circuit. I'd note, however, that replacing older conservative judges with younger conservative judges is a net gain if one keeps the future in mind.

Also, conservative judges taking senior status is good not just for adding young conservatives to the bench. Senior Judges can of course be part of three-judge panels, but if hey are a part of such a panel, the also are eligible to be part of the pool from which the en banc panel is selected. So all things being equal, it’s better to have two conservative senior judges on a 3-Judge panel than two fulltimers, because it gives us better odds for the en banc draw.

Those memos were regarding the use of enhanced interrogation techniques such as mental and physical torment and coercion such as prolonged sleep deprivation, binding in stress positions, and waterboarding.
I'm ok with that. As Sarah Palin may have observed, "Waterboarding is how you baptize terrorists."

Waterboarding has been part of the training for some of our troops.
I fail to see how terrorists are privileged to be treated better than our troops. So I don't have a big problem with upholding a system which does not grant greater privileges to terrorists. I never had to be waterboarded, but I got to be harassed, starved at times, sleep-deprivation a lot, dehydrated at times, put in a gas chamber, etc. So no, I don't really have a problem with a judge if they ruled that you can do the same things to terrorists that we do to our own forces.
