Trump Poised To Flip Eleventh Circuit
Above The Law ^ | Sep 6, 2019 | ELIE MYSTAL

Trump has already “flipped” the Third Circuit. He’s made serious inroads on other circuits. Now, he’s posed to fully flip the Eleventh Circuit. At the outset of the Trump administration, it had an 8-3 Democratic majority (with one vacancy). So that’s an impressive swing.

One administration, not even in power for three years, has flipped the federal circuit for Florida, Georgia, and Alabama from 8-3 Democrat to 7-5 Republican, with a majority of those Republicans being Trump judges.

Trump does know how to get things done..

that is why the left sees him as being very dangerous to their socialist cause.

How about the 9th? That is the one giving everyone the most problems.

And NEVER FORGET, the RINOs have supported Trump’s judges at a 95% rate, while even the most conservative Democrats, who some people here think are better than RINOs, don’t even get near 50%, at least on contested nominations.

So THANK YOU, RINOs, if only for supporting Trump here.

Congratulations to Trump on the Third Circuit.

All four of his nominees got at least 40 Democrat “NO” votes.

The Eleventh Circuit looks a little bit shaky.

Three nominees...

One with 46 Democrat “NO” votes - excellent.

One with 25 Democrat “YES” votes.

One with 16 Democrat “YES” votes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a Supreme Court vacancy in the next year.

I’d like Thomas and Alito to step down and replaced with 40 year olds. Thomas already missed days of work this year due to illness. No need for him to continue when we have young replacements.

Yeah. But then George Bush was a disaster as president so not really surprising he’d pick a dud.

Ms Mystal must not know that Chief Justice Roberts declared that there are no Obama judges, so there certainly cannot be Trump judges.
(And to think that Roberts will preside over the President’s impeachment trial in the Senate.)

And when he leaves and 2024 it will be decidedly 11 to 1, at a minimum, Republican

Excellent! This, in addition to finally getting us out of the Great Recessin is Trump’s biggest legacy. He’s still only appointed about 45 Circuit Court judges to Obama’s 55, but it has gone a long way toward reversing the damage. A few of those circuits Obama flipped have been flipped back.

Now, Trump needs to get re-elected and ram through a bunch more Federalist Society members on the Circuit Courts and hopefully get to replace at least two of the Gang of Four on the Supreme Court.
