This is not going to affect the ideological balance on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Kozinski was a hard right judge. He was on the record as supporting capital punishment, but only if done by firing squad or guillotine.

Tragic in its way. I would much rather that other judges on the 9th be replaced first. But, guess who gets to fill the vacancy!

What an inept and gonad-less Congress to not have taken a fix to the most overturned Circus in the nation (9th circus).

My first thought was “good for America, another scum off the court”. My second thought matched your comment: “good for America, another Trump pick on the court”.

Kozinski is, probably the most conservative, originalist and textualist on the Ninth Circuit.

The only win is that Trump will be able to replace him.

I have read a couple of his arguments. Kozinski is first rate.

Humor and liberals doesn’t mix. They have no sense of humor and no sense of proportion, not to mention every one of them sincerely believes they are a kind of secular saint. This guy can’t be very liberal.

And it sucks to work with them... small loss.

They can’t even be trusted to go get you a cup of coffee because for certain they will spit in it or worse. Get a back rub from one? No way, you’ll get knifed.

He’s pretty old and this is the best opportunity in years to leave the court with a reasonable assurance that your replacement will not be a bat-crap crazy liberal. So he’s leaving with grace and in a gentlemanly manner which doesn’t seem to fit the aggressive image his accusers would probably like to cast him.

Would be nice if he could grab a few of the other judges and pull them from their perches on the way out.

Too bad his intelligence was not very widespread.

If the “harassed” had their way, it would be the guillotine for him - “Off with his head!” ... But not the head atop his shoulders.

He was the ONLY rigid Constitutionalist on the Circuit.
