This is a total disaster for the radical left...They’re losing their solid gold majority on the 9th seat-by-seat

[ought-six]

It will take VP Pence to break the tie that is sure to come when Myth and Murkowski vote against all future Trump nominees, with the possibility of the Maine-iac joining them.

This is a District Court, not Appeals Court. Judge Arguelles’ rulings will be appealed to the Ninth, where they will likely be over ruled. We need a few more seats there before we can have reasonable decisions in the west.

The Ninth Circuit has already handed President Trump a number of victories including asylum policy, withholding money from sanctuary cities and not funding organizations that promote abortion.

[ETCM]

We get a few victories here and there. The 9th is still majority leftists, but they hear cases in 3 Judge panels. Some of those panels will have 2 moderate or conservative judges, and that’s where the reasonable decisions come from. When a case is important enough that the 9th isn’t willing to accept the decision of the panel, they re-hear the case “En Banc”, and overturn the panel. I’ve seen this happen in all of our 2A cases. If Trump get’s another term, we will flip the 9th.

It’s a little frustrating wanting quality but also quantity and quickly. But slow and steady wins the race.
