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

[Solidsnake87]

Apparently, there are nine Dem judicial positions eligible for senior status but there is no obligation for those judges to take senior status.

I'm thinking these folks are gonna pull a Ginsberg and stay.

Vote Scheduled: At 5:30 pm on Monday, May 20th, the Senate will proceed to a vote on the motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar #201 Daniel Collins to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit

That sets him up for a confirmation vote on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Also, a committee hearing has finally been scheduled for Bress on Wednesday.

Both judges were Scalia clerks.

Thank you, newbie!

And welcome to CGN.

Daniel Collins is right behind Lee, ready to go to the Senate floor for a vote.

Daniel Bress first needs S. Judiciary Cmte hearing and then vote and then goes to the Senate floor and vote.

After that, there's still 1 more opening currently on CA9.

Confirmed, 52-45: Executive Calendar #202 Kenneth Lee to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit

Kenneth Lee is likely to become President Donald Trump’s 40th appeals court nominee to win confirmation, a milestone not reached by his three immediate predecessors until their second terms.

The Senate is expected on Wednesday evening to confirm the first generation South Korean immigrant and Jenner & Block partner to a seat on the California-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

<snip>

With the Lee vote, Trump will have recorded 40 circuit court appointments four months past the midway point of taking office. Democrats Bill Clinton and Obama and Republican George W. Bush didn’t hit the mark until their second terms.

<snip>

The Federalist Society has been influential in Trump’s judicial selections, many of whom are members of the conservative group.

<snip>

If Lee is confirmed, the Ninth Circuit will have 16 judges appointed by Democrats and 10 appointed by Republicans. The court will still have three vacancies, two of which have nominees pending.

It takes time to turn the big ship...

9th circus is a ship of fools.

From Thursday: Leader McConnell has filed cloture on Executive Calendar #202 Kenneth Lee to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit

Which means he should be confirmed sometime this week.

WINNING!

Elections matter.
If the correct people are placed into positions to re-shape the various benches, we can start to rebuild our country to what it was intended to be.
Thank you for keeping us up to date on the appointments.

While not directly CA9 related, the confirmation of Park to CA2 means that the next two floor votes for appeals court judges will be for CA9.

The Senate confirmed Michael Park to be a judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, making him the 39th circuit court judge to be confirmed under President Trump in a process on a record pace that is steadily reshaping the bench.

Judge Park joins Joseph Bianco, confirmed earlier this week, on that bench, bringing the number of Republican-appointed active judges on the chief 2nd Circuit panel to six.

With two more vacancies by this summer as judges take senior status, Mr. Trump will soon have a chance to flip control of the circuit, which currently has seven Democratic appointees.

Mr. Trump flipped the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year, taking it from a 7-4 Democratic edge in judicial appointees in 2017 to a 7-6 Republican edge among active judges.

<snip>

Before Mr. Trump took office, Democrats had a 90-71 advantage in appointments of active judges among all the circuits. Republican-appointed judges now lead by a 90-83 margin.

Reperations for the many, many decades of outright civil rights abuses inflicted on the citizenry by a panel of activists are in order. To help compensate for the untold damages done to said citizenry, ALL anti-2A rulings should be immediately reversed, the personal assets and fortunes of those activists jurists should be seized and turned over to the civil rights organizations whom had to shoulder a tremendous burden in order to defend the citizenry from their malicious intent and actions. They have defiled the constitution, and must be held accountable at least monetarily.
