Judge Bade’s confirmation vote should be tomorrow. In addition to the vacancy she fills and the other four existing vacancies, President Trump may have more opportunities to help shift the Leftist Lock of the 9th Circuit of Appeals — but ONLY IF HE AND CONGRESS IGNORE THE BLUE SLIP VETO that the ‘RATS employ so effectively.
That’s a very nice retirement. A federal district judge earns a salary of $208,000 and a circuit court of appeals judge earns $220,600 per year. Whatever earning potential is forfeited during a federal judge’s years on the bench is repaid handsomely in retirement.
They’ve been ignoring the blue slips already, haven’t they? I CAN’T IMAGINE THEY WILL CHANGE THAT!!!
“all but one of the 5 Bush appointees are also so edible.”
whu what? Are you Hannibal Lecter?
the White House continues its push to transform the key left-leaning appellate courtFilling vacancies on the federal bench is a duty and responsibility of the President. I don't ever remember the MSM referring to this duty as a "push to transform" under previous administrations. The only "push" is the push to overcome obstruction, and that has occurred in the Senate, not the White House.
Trump has three more 9th Circuit appointees awaiting confirmation:
Daniel P. Collins who will replace Pregerson
Kenneth Lee who will replace Reinhart (who is dead)
Daniel Bress who will replace Kosinski
There is also O’Scannlain’s open seat that has yet to receive a nominee.
So if he gets all this through, that will be EIGHT new Justices on the 9th.
He three confirmed appointments replaced TWO Bush appointees and ONE Clinton.
So Clinton/Obama=16, Bush/Trump=13 And that is really leveling the playing field.
The remaining Clinton judges range in age from 64 to 73. Just hope there are no Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg’s in the lot and that a few more of them retire. Obola’s appointments run from 2011 thru 2014, so unless they get hit by a car, they’re there for all of Trump’s hopefully two terms.
It certainly will be nice to restore some dignity and a sense of measured justice to the 9th Circus court of appeals. It’s been known as a circus because of all the super knee-jerk liberal judges, who made a laughingstock of court justice.
Trump’s first nominee to the Ninth Circuit is a Hard Left disaster.
Mark J. Bennett - Confirmed 72-27
All 27 “NO” votes were Republicans.
How the heck did that happen?
By a 77-20 vote, the Senate invoked cloture to end debate on Trump's nomination of Arizona-based Magistrate Judge Bridget Bade...
Thanks House Atreides.
Frankly I’m a little troubled that she was not more fiercely opposed by the Democrats. When Trump fills all the Vacancies onnthe 9th Circuit it still won’t bring it into balance. There will still be 3 more Democrat appointees but 16-13 looks a whole lot better than the wildly Leftist bent the 9th has had ever since Jimmy Crater got to appoint 10 hard Left judges to it in the late 70s when the 9th Circuit was expanded.
I would love to see the 9th circuit broken up into two or even 3 districts and several more judges THAT TRUMP GETS TO NOMINATE added.

Since this ruling came down our city is now sprouting Tobacco Road tents in our local parks and on greenway belts. Soon we will look like San Francisco if it keeps up.
Sadly, no Western state to run to as long as the 9th circuit court props up inane socialist policies.
No thanks - I already had breakfast.
