9th Circuit Court of Appeals watch (judges & composition of CA9, not cases)

[Paladin]

IIRC, a 3-judge panel can have 1 senior judge. Can it have 2? 3?

[tenemae]

The odds ratio for 3-judge panels, which can have "senior" judges, is different.

Senior judges are split 9R-9D by my count (as of Oct 2018)

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!

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.

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.

Done!

Confirmed, 53-46: Executive Calendar #201 Daniel Collins to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit

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.

Skipped lunch or drank it?

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

Only when the sun rises in the east. Otherwise, Paladin is correct.

It's pretty obvious when I've skipped lunch....
