What President Trump accomplished in his first term is to almost but not quite counterbalance what Obama did in his 8 years.
Each appointed 2 to the Supreme Court.
Obama appointed 55 and Trump 53 to the Circuit Courts
Obama appointed 329 judges total to Trump’s 203....meaning Obama appointed considerably more to the District Courts.
If Trump gets another 4 years, we will actually make real progress on the federal courts instead of just doing damage control like he’s been doing the last 4 years. Its almost certain the president in the next 4 years will get to appoint one or two to the Supreme Court.
By my count of active judges for each circuit
1st circuit = 4 rat, 2 Republican
2nd circuit = 6 rat, 7 Republican
3rd circuit = 6 rat, 8 Republican
4th circuit = 8 rat, 6 Republican, 1 both
(I counted six judges who were 70 or older. One Reagan appointee, One GHWB appointee, two Clinton appointees, two Obama appointees. Good chance of a flip if Trump is reelected)
5th circuit = 5 rat, 12 Republican
6th circuit = 5 rat, 11 Republican
7th circuit = 2 rat, 9 Republican
8th circuit = 1 rat, 10 Republican
9th circuit = 16 rat, 13 Republican
(*I counted 7 judges on the 9th circuit who were 70 or older. one was a Bush appointee, one was an Obama appointee and five were Clinton appointees...good chance of a flip if Trump is reelected)
10th circuit = 7 rat, 5 Republican
(I count three older than 70. Two are Clinton appointees and one is a Bush appointee. Decent chance of a flip if Trump is reelected)
11th circuit = 5 rat, 7 Republican
federal circuit = 8 rat, 4 Republican
Trump likely flips three more Circuit courts if he gets 4 more years.
I live the idea of Supreme Court Justice Cruz.
As a child he memorized and could recite the Constitution.
The post-17th Amendment ratification Congress not only lets activist justices, judges and faceless, non-elected bureaucrats get away with legislating politically correct laws from the bench and numbered government offices, but also lets lawless, second-term presidents get away with making constitutionally indefensible executive orders.
Such laws and executive orders based on stolen state powers.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
In other words, career lawmakers are effectively letting activist justices and corrupt presidents do Congresss dirty, unconstitutional legislative work for Congress so that lawmakers can keep their voting records clean to get reelected.
Voters have the power to stop this federal circus, but since parents are evidently not making sure that their children are being taught about the federal governments constitutionally limited power as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, voters are clueless.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I dont see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
This is the number one reason why this election is so critically important. The courts are where laws, policies, regulations, etc. live or die in the end. Precedents - particularly Supreme Court precedents - last for generations. President Trump can build a wall today and President Biden can tear it down tomorrow. But a binding precedent from a staunchly conservative court will last far beyond the end of a presidency.
The next president will get at least 1-2 Supreme Court picks. If President Trump gets those picks, we can get a court that’s more conservative and more committed to upholding the US Constitution than any of us have seen in our lifetimes. A court like that will shatter liberal gun control laws and be willing to take on older restrictions as well. Replace 1-2 liberals with strong conservative justices and FOPA, the GCA, even the NFA are all on the table.
