President Trump on Thursday nominated Judge A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. to a seat on a federal appeals court, looking to give him a promotion just weeks after he won his district judgeship.
Mr. Trump first tapped Judge Quattlebaum last year to be a judge in South Carolina, and he was confirmed March 1 on a 69-28 vote. Now Mr. Trump wants him on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
He was one of nine judicial picks three for appeals courts, five for district courts and one for the federal claims court that the White House announced Thursday.
Julius Jay N. Richardson, who works for the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of South Carolina, was also nominated to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judge Richard J. Sullivan of the Southern District of New York, was nominated to the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
The 4th Circuit used to be the most conservative appeals court in the country, but was almost completely reshaped by President Obamas appointments. Mr. Trumps two picks could begin to restore some balance.

Good news.
“A. Marvin Quattlebaum”
W. C. Fields would have been all over that one.
It really IS good news ... as noted, the 4th used to be a solid circuit, but Obama ruined it, like everything else he touched.
Yes and Republicans did not use their blue slip at the time to stop his appointments. Republicans have to use scorched earth tactics just like the Democrats.
W. C. Fields would have been all over that one.
ROTFL........I think you’re right
LOL! Wonderful reply!
Since obama screwed the 4th, I hope trump screws the 9th. Heck get 25 year old judges in there.
His first name is “Arthur” why ditch that for “Marvin”?
Yeah, I was wondering what horrors “A” could be hiding, if he’s willing to live with the other two names.
