How many did Reagan and the two Bushes appoint?

[mikhailovich]

Good.

Any improvement to the 9th Circuit is HUGH.

[DiogenesLamp]

President Donald Trump recently announced another wave of judicial nominees, and among them is an openly gay conservative, Patrick Bumatay. Trump nominated Bumatay to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, the nation’s largest federal appeals court. It hears cases from nine Western states and has 29 judges; there are currently six vacancies.

I cannot help but think Trump is a tactical genius. Though I don't approve of faggotry, I recognize that this is a tactic meant to appease the constituency of that kook city in California.

This will be interesting to see how they play it. We can ask:

Are you against this nominee because they are of Philippine heritage?

Are you against this nominee because they are homosexual?

Are you against this nominee because they are asian?

Are you against this nominee because male and gay?

Or, are you just against this nominee because they aren’t leftist democrat?

AND, Are you against this nominee because THEY LEFT THE PLANTATION?

[Wuli]

This is smart politics. Feinstein and Harris are on record opposing the guy, so, in California it will not set well with many “LGBT” who are NOT LGBT activists seeking to tow the totally Leftist line.

[afsnco]

“openly homosexual conservative” is pretty much oxymoronic.

[OrangeHoof]

Right demographics to add to the Ninth Circus...

[amnestynone]

If he can be gay, Asian and Californian and not turn into some lib sync than he will probably remain conservative as a Judge. Good pick!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If confirmed, Bumatay would be the first Filipino American to serve as an Article III federal appellate judge.

The Democrats obviously are racist against Filipinos.

[Stepan12]

Rememberhow sympathetic Pres.REagan was to his friend, Rock Hudson? Even if this men having sex with men stuff is a deadly perversion,they are still human beings; albeit human beings with a dangerous sex addiction.

No comment on the name.

Different times.

[FLT-bird]

I don’t particularly care what he does in the privacy of his bedroom. What I care about is that he respect the constitution and rule according to the original intent of the Founders.

[SoFloFreeper]

is the person CONSERVATIVE? I know the Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, is a homosexual. He also is (apparently) representing TRUMP and not a sexual identity as the ambassador.

I have known at least one good conservative man who practiced homosexuality. They do exist.

[Midwesterner53]

Reserving judgement on this nomination.

[fwdude]

This is one nominee who SHOULD be rejected by the Senate.

What is wrong with Trump?

[aimhigh]

Trump made a bad decision. We don’t need more mentally ill judges on the 9th circuit. Religious freedom is already disappearing from Oregon, and this gay will just make it worse.
