Severino: Trump's reshaping of ‘Ninth Circus’ appeals court has stopped a lot of 'liberal judicial activism'
foxnews.com ^ | 02/24/20 | Talia Kaplan

President Trump has reshaped the “notoriously liberal” U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, according to Carrie Severino, the conservative Judicial Crisis Network's chief counsel and policy director, who noted it was often referred to as the “Ninth Circus.”

The former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made the comments Monday on “Fox & Friends” in response to a Los Angeles Times article titled “Trump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are causing a ‘shock wave.’”

 

The article said that when President Trump talks about his accomplishments in office, “he frequently mentions his aggressive makeover of a key sector of the federal judiciary — the circuit courts of appeal, where he has appointed 51 judges to lifetime jobs in three years.”

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington, was a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration.

The Ninth Circuit Court handles cases of high interest to the Trump administration, such as immigration and detention.

TRUMP SECURES 50TH APPELATE COURT APPOINTMENT, WITH ANOTHER 9TH CIRCUIT JUDGE CONFIRMED

“He hasn’t flipped it entirely,” Severino noted on Monday. “When he came into office the notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit Court, people call it the ‘Ninth Circus’ – it’s so out to lunch – had 11 more Democratic appointees than Republicans, now that margin is down to three, so he hasn’t fully flipped it, but practically speaking, he has.”

Trump has done more good for Conservatives with his Judge picks alone then all the “Never Trumpers or Sort Of Trumpers” in “Conservative Inc” combined have ever done.

One of the things that been real educational during the Trump era is just how many of our “Conservative” media figures have been lying about their real political allegiances for decades

If he gets to replace two more Democrat appointees he will have flipped the 9th. Hopefully in the next 5 years that will happen.

Well since we now know they HATE us common slugs, it would make sense that they can NEVER do any good for us.

There is nothing Most Conservative Pundits hate more than Liberalism except Conservative Voters.

FOX would ask Napolitano for pithy insight, but it might cause an aneurism.

Not enough of it, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.
5 more years of judges should look awfully sweet.

Napolitano is another reason we no longer watch Fox.

How you doin’ JOhn!
One thing I have noticed about those who were shall we say “leery” about the Trump presidency and the man himself is this: Once they come in contact with or listen to what Trump has to say they realize he is one of us. He is a conservative with our values and the best potus we will have in our lifetime.

Maybe while the press is in a tizzy over C-virus — chasing that squirrel, behind the scenes Trump is pushing through more judges. Whatever happens in November, the judges could be his greatest legacy. One of the main reasons many voted for him in 2016 (best day ever, BTW).

You would be wrong...Paul Singer is no republican! He is a pro-sodomite vulture who sides with George Soros.

Good grief.

Maybe another one of those “fiscal conservatives” but “cultural” liberals.

They’ll never understand that OF COURSE culture affects the country fiscally.

In a HUGE way.

Plus it’s disgusting

He’s responsible for single-handedly destroying a perfectly profitable company....Cabella’s. So nothing republican or conservative about him.

Nope...always follow the money. It tends to lead to places you never wanted to go!
