Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has died, a court spokesperson confirmed. He was 87.
A liberal champion, Reinhardt was appointed to the bench by President Carter in 1980.
He authored key liberal court opinions on hot-button topics ranging from abortion and marriage equality to assisted suicide and immigration. At the same time, the opinions made him a target of criticism from conservative corners — and of regular reversal from the Supreme Court.

I think that ‘Judge Rudolph William Louis Giuliani KBE, of the 9th Circuit Court’ has a wonderful ring to it. A good NYC mayor, but not conservative enough. Also, sad to say, last I saw he wan't looking too hearty and hale...

Too bad he didn’t die in jail, as justice would have it.

Winning! :)
**************
No, we’re NOT YET WINNING! We’ll be winning when Turtleman McConnell VASTLY speeds up the confirmation of President Trump’s nominees — both judicial and non-judicial.
There’s absolutely no reason why McConnell is allowing this DUTY to proceed at a mere SNAIL’S PACE.
SPEED IT UP MCCONNELL!

The honorable Sam Kinnesson would have made the perfect nomination to the 9th circuit just to shake things up a bit. Too bad he is gone! How about James Woods? Mark Levin?
Anything to put their panties in a twist and a turd in their punch bowl.

After president Trump gets his nominees appointed, there will be 16 liberals and 13 conservatives. This will make Trump’s 7th vacancy to fill.
