I apologize to President Trump for starting to think he was going soft.

The new list includes three nominees for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the liberal-leaning court that oversees the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii, and which has been a frequent target of Mr. Trump’s ire. The president also named four picks for district judgeships in California.
The announcement came after conservatives said they feared the president was working on a deal with Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala D. Harris, California’s two Democrats, to submit a consensus list that wouldn’t dramatically shift the court’s ideological balance.
Mr. Trump’s list should put those fears to rest.
Two of the appeals court nominees — Daniel P. Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee — were names he’d submitted last year, while a third, Daniel A. Bress, is considered a rising star.
“We are relieved to see that the White House has decided to move forward with a list of extraordinarily qualified nominees,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network.
Who leaked the original rumour?
Well, I think I did that backwards, but I think I’m getting better at posting.
Here’s the thread where I expressed doubt...

Excellent !!! Can’t wait to hear Rush tomorrow’
There are a lot of pearl clutchers on FR.
.... and usually I’m not one of them.
But, I admit, that rumor made me mad.
Maybe Jared and a few ‘consensus’ White House staffers but the logic of Trump compromising on 9th circuit judicial picks made no sense when surely many of his executive actions will be temporarily stopped by one federal judge after another and would ultimately be sent to the 9th circuit

Thanks for the post.
It’s quite a sacrifice for a conservative to take a seat on this nut-case court.
I want them to know I appreciate them!

Are we sure the Repubs have the votes to confirm with the likes of Romney and company now sitting in the Senate?
The all too common problem. I call it the “Ann Coulter Syndrome” The Fakenews media says something and conservatives freak out, denounce Trump for abandoning them and vow to not vote for Trump. Story proves false, Republicans are OK, then cycle repeats. Over and over again.
I love how “conservative” journalists and bloggers get played like fiddles, then have to backtrack (or bluster and rationalize). Here’s the stupid earlier one:

Yay! With his two nominees from last week, these three nominees make five nominees for the 6 vacancies on the 9th circuit. Now get moving on the confirmations Graham and McConnell!
I have a rule.
Never underestimate Donald Trump.
I never, ever begin to think he’s going soft. I know better. He’s playing 3-D chess while the other congress critters play checkers...badly...
Even if it looks a bit iffy on the surface, it usually turns out he’s been 3 steps ahead of the pack all along.
Always trust the President, there are much worse things you can do...
Check this list out.
