How Trump is reshaping one of the country’s most liberal courts
PBS Newshour ^ | August 19, 2019 | Gretchen Frazee

Planned Parenthood’s decision to withdraw Monday from a federal grant program aimed at family planning services is the result of a ruling from an unlikely source: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The historically liberal court allowed a Trump administration rule blocking federal funding from organizations that refer patients for abortions to move forward, and Planned Parenthood chose to lose the money rather than stop the referrals.

The case is one signal that President Donald Trump’s judicial nominations may be shifting one of the nation’s most liberal courts further to the right, blunting what many consider his opponents’ most effective tool against administration policies.

In another ruling Friday, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit, which included a Trump appointee, scaled back a lower-court ruling to allow Trump’s asylum rules to go into effect in some parts of the country.

Let’s hope President Trump can put FAR MORE conservative judges on our courts. What we need is an insider within the left to tell us how they’ll switch tactics to counter this.

blunting what many consider his opponents’ most effective tool against administration policies.........yeah, not so much.

eliminating the tool that the Left has used for decades to ram their Socialist/Radical/Progressive/Communist/Liberal policies down the throat of every American and blunting any attempt by Conservatives to challenge these insane policies and unprecedented nationwide injunctions, which they have no authority to issue.

Fixed it.

I’ll point out what I always point out here. If the RINOs in the Senate were replaced by Democrats (after all, what’s the difference, many here say), then the 9th Circuit would be EXACTLY AS IT WAS prior to Trump, except, maybe, with more vacancies. Neither Kavenaugh, nor Gorsuch, would be on the Supreme Court - instead there would be two empty seats, and the remaining court would be HARD LEFT majority. And many, many, other judgeships would be open, waiting for the next president - maybe Al Gore, maybe Kerry, maybe even Skunk Cabbage - to fill those seats. That branch of government would be lost for the next 2 generations, at least

And the country would already be LOST by now.

So say what you want about the RINOs in the Senate, but their record on Trump’s judges is NEAR-PERFECT...not quite perfect, by about 98% perfect. And that includes the gals, Romney, and some others. None of today’s Democrats, as in ZERO of them, come even close to our worst RINOs, at least on judges.

Please think about that when voting in November elections...fight it out in the primaries, but it’s worth keeping the Senate in Republican hands, if for nothing else, for our kids and grand kids. The alternative, if we’re lucky, is Civil War 2 - if we’re not lucky, it’s the Cuban/Cambodian model, complete with ‘re-education camps’ and much worse. That’s who we’re fighting now. Our opponents are not FDR, JFK, or even Bill Clinton Democrats, they’re flat-out MARXISTS, simply based on what they’re telling us they want to do with the country.

Please don’t be a part of enabling them to seize power.

PBS is claiming Trump is reshaping one of the country’s most liberal courts.

We have liberal courts? Not according to John Roberts:

After the president responded to an administration loss in a lower court by criticizing the judge who issued it, calling him an “Obama judge,” Chief Justice Roberts issued a sharp public statement. He insisted, against the weight of substantial evidence, that “we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”

It's up to us - WE have to make sure Trump is reelected...

RINOs in the Senate,,, record on Trump’s judges is NEAR-PERFECT...

RINO’s are bought and paid for by the chamber of commerce, and left wing radicals on the bench is bad for business.

No argument, that when it comes to the voting RINOs are better than rats most of the time.

Excellent! Keep ramming Federalist Society members down the Donkey’s throats. All it will take is a couple more to flip the 9th.
