Go Team Trump!

Yes!

We are very close to having a balanced 9th. If Trump wins a 2nd term, we will have a balanced 9th within a few years, given the number of liberal judges in their 70s and above.

And RBG, it's time to "retire"!

After the confirmations of five district-court nominees this week, next week Leader McConnell intends to turn back to the task of confirming court of appeals nominees. Yesterday he filed for cloture to end debate on the nominations of Joseph Bianco and Michael Park, President Trump’s pending nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. If confirmed, Bianco and Park will be the 38th and 39th court-of-appeals judges confirmed since Inauguration Day.

Bianco was confirmed today. (https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...mer-gillibrand) That leaves only a vote on Michael Park before the Senate can take up confirmation of Trump's last 2 CA9 nominees: Collins and Lee.

After they're confirmed, there will still be Bress awaiting S. Judiciary Cmte vote and then floor vote and 1 more opening on CA9 (but Trump hasn't nominated anyone for it yet).

Go Team Trump!

And we will still lose Duncan enbanc. :/

Trump 2020 is the only hope for this country to remain free.

Fingers crossed for Strict Scrutiny to be applied via SCOTUS in the near future.

Court should not be balanced by party, it should be fully bound to constitutional interpretation and that means every single activist legislate from the bench liberal judges that have ruled so long appointed by Democrats should be replaced to restore the law of the land in full.

Here's a quick & dirty graphic.

Currently (Dem 16 to GOP 9),

If Trump fills all the current openings on CA9 (Dem 16 to GOP 13),

DDDDD DDDDD

RRRRR RRR
RRRRR
Trump will almost make CA9 "balanced" in just his first term!

Yes, very good progress, however I would still consider the 9th composition score as Dem 17 to GOP 12 because of Bennett in Hawaii (Trump).

Do we have an updated graphic for court makeup? It would be interesting to see how things have changed since the graphic shown on of. 4 of this thread.

Thought this might be worth posting here too.

A few more months and a few more appeals and I think we'll be seeing some good news for us. The magazine ban is a great primer.

Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop and up-to-date!

The Senate comes back from their 2-week Easter break tomorrow. For CA9, it looks like 2 judges (Collins & Lee) are awaiting Senate floor votes and one (Bress) is awaiting Judiciary Cmte hearing.

https://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/judicial-nominations-update-43/

Remember, from above: "If the two [Collins & Lee) are confirmed, 11 of the judges will be appointed by Republicans and 16 appointed by Democrats. Two more vacancies on the 9th Circuit remain, and Trump nominated Daniel Bress to fill one of those seats in February."
