‘Nuclear Option’ Helps Obama Reshape The Courts For A Generation
BySahil KapurPublishedDecember 18, 2014,
President Barack Obama can thank outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) for triggering the “nuclear option” in November 2013 and securing him one of the most robust judicial legacies of any modern president.
In six years, he has appointed a whopping 307 judges, who will shape the law for decades after he leaves office. The final 12 district judges were confirmed in the closing night of the Senate session on Tuesday, Reid’s final move before Democrats surrender control of the chamber.
“The Obama Administration and the United States Senate have given Americans the best possible holiday present: the gift of justice,” said Nan Aron, the president of the progressive law and policy group Alliance For Justice.
A total of 132 judges were confirmed in the 113th Congress — the most since the 1970s.
Perhaps most significant is his appointment of 53 judges on federal circuit courts, which have the last word on most matters of law. When Obama took office, just one of 13 appeals courts had a majority of Democratic-appointed judges on the active bench. Today, nine of 13 appeals courts have a majority of Democratic appointees.
“There has been an extraordinary onslaught of confirmations in the last year,” said Russell Wheeler, an expert on federal courts at the Brookings Institution.
Obama has named the first-ever Native American woman and Indian-American federal judge. He has placed more female and Hispanic judges than any previous president, and more Asian-American and openly gay judges than all other presidents combined.

This is unbelievable. I’m pretty sure judges have been disrobed before. This three-judge panel should be disrobed too.
Seems they have written a get out of jail free card for themselves and retroactively made legal judicial misconduct.
the pogroms just keep coming
