The 9th circuit has only 29 active judges, 11 of which have now been appointed by republicans. There were only 6 appointed by republicans when Trump took office.
By the end of the year (there are currently two vacancies) it will be 16-13 democrat majority.
Then you are saying there is reason to hope. Then I will hope along with you but at the rate Mitch is moving on Judges and for that matter all appointments I shall remain a little more skeptical.
