Good riddance.
Good precedent.
Replace him with a conservative 19 year old.
Well, at least we now know that he won’t be going to hell. ;-)
Looks like there’s three active Carter appointees close to age 90 from your link, potential for replacement by Trump.

The ‘9th Circus’ is Badly Broken—Let’s Fix It
https://amgreatness.com/2017/08/09/9th-circus-badly-broken-lets-fix/
From the article:
Judge Stephen Reinhardt, appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, is the most frequently reversed judge in America—by some estimates, “one of the most overturned judges in history.” The Supreme Court often reverses Reinhardt unanimously, and sometimes even without oral argument. “Per curiam” reversals are the ultimate rebuke to a renegade judge, but for Reinhardt they are routine. Reinhardt is so contemptuous of Supreme Court precedent that the High Court has accused him of “judicial disregard”—the mark of a scofflaw.
Bye!
Yay!
Who does the appointment ?
Needs to appoint a conservative 40 year old who will be around a long time.
“After president Trump gets his nominees appointed, there will be 16 liberals and 13 conservatives. This will make Trump’s 7th vacancy to fill.”
And in addition, if I’m reading the link correctly there’s three active Carter appointed judges near age 90 for potential replacement?
Nominate a mid-30s conservative, nationalist, strict constructionist to fill the vacancy. Then call McConnell in and tell him to keep the Senate in session until the candidate is approved or Trump will encourage Matt Bevin to run against McConnell and will raise money and actively support and campaign for Bevin.
Died on the bench at 87? There’s a problem there.
Wouldnt want to be him about now.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg turned 85 recently.
Will not stop him from voting and handing down decisions.
The “let’s use international law to interpret the US constitution” judge should go back to sleep.
As I said on the other thread the lefties are going to fight to the bitter end over this vacancy.
Hell had to enlarge itself to take this one in.....good riddance.
