Judge Carlos Bea, a Bush appointee, will take senior status on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, though a date has not been set.
The opening will give Mr. Trump his ninth slot to fill on the court — six of his picks are already sitting.
Some conservatives say that seat should be earmarked for Patrick Bumatay, an openly gay Filipino man whom Mr. Trump had eyed for the 9th Circuit before, but ended up nominating him for a district judgeship instead as part of a deal with California’s two Democratic senators.
“Patrick Bumatay is a former colleague and good friend. Harvard Law. Bush 43 White House. Career prosecutor. Tireless work for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh confirmations. He would make a phenomenal addition to the Ninth Circuit,” said Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, a group supporting Mr. Trump’s judicial nominees.
Such a nomination could spark a confrontation with Sen. Kamala Harris and the Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
They complained about lack of consultation when Mr. Bumatay was first pondered for the appeals court, and have yet to return their blue slips, a Senate tradition showing approval of a nominee, for his nomination to the district court.

They're anti-LGBTQ!!!!
To be gay at all shows a serous lack of judgement.
Are these the same "conservatives" who couldn't even conserve women's bathrooms?
I'm guessing Bill Kristol and...?
To be gay at all shows a serous lack of judgement.
If Trump does nominate him, it would be political geared toward his 2020 run. Just pandering to the fag crowd.
“Such a nomination could spark a confrontation with Sen. Kamala Harris and the Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein.”
Good. All the more reason to pick him.
McConnell has been telling the dems to shove their blue slips.
B-but that makes it impossible for the Liliputian Congress Critters to tie down the giant Executive with judges who make asinine rulings. Existential threat to demoncracy, that.
What's with these gay names?
Maybe the putative new judge can show them how, since he’s had experience.
A Senate tradition which became an unconstitutional practice.
They get teased about the name in 4th grade, then meet some other kid with a weird name who’s also being tormented, and they get to be friends. Then they try each other out in the bushes during recess, and Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt. They turn gay.
Moral of the story: Parents, if you have a last name like Bumatay, Buttigieg, Smokewhiteowl, Bendover, Fudgepack, Swordfight, Bottomsup, Cockadoodledoo or ACDC, move to a new town and have it legally changed. Your children will thank you, and you’ll have grandkids one day.
Much to do over nothing.
Judge Carlos Bea is a conservative.
Trump will replace a conservative with a conservative - no ideological shift.
I welcome any chance to fill any Circuit Court seat but this is just treading water. Progress is replacing a Clinton or Obama appointee with a member of the Federalist Society.
There is no longer a reason to have blue slips when all Trump picks will be rejected no matter what
The Rats will still a have a 5 or 6 seat advantage and with them 1 is as good as a hundred.
Bumatay??
No queers allowed.
“What? Feinstein and Harris don’t want an openly gay judge on the 9th Circuit??”
I have no doubt whatsoever that they will find a way to paint him as an “Uncle Tom” re: the gay community.
:: an openly gay Filipino man ::
To be OPENLY gay is to hold a specific ^political^ position that would disqualify any person from a federal-judge position.
But there is seemingly a flaw in my theory: Joey Buttafuoco, who was not only not gay, but polygamous and into psychotic women.
But it’s no problem. Either because the other kid’s parents changed their last name, or because he just was the only kid in school with a razz-able name, he was all alone, unable to become gay for lack of opportunity. So instead he overcompensated, and had multiple girlfriends, all psychotic, who either went homicidal on others, or still stayed with him after getting attacked by the feral ones. Solved.
