Ninth Circus got tied 9-9 a couple of weeks ago - with several vacancies remaining.
**************************************************
Nope, not even close ...YET.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals consists of 29 Judgeships with 5 being VACANT (Come on, Republican Senate). Of the 24 sitting judges, 16 are ‘RATS (9 Clinton appointees & 7 Obama appointees) and 8 are Republican nominees (5 Bush and 3 Trump appointees). So the Republicans on this Appeals Court are currently outnumbered two to one (16 to 8). Quickly filling the 5 vacancies with Trump appointees will go along way toward evening things out.
In addition to the five 9th Appeals Court vacancies, there are also currently TWENTY FOUR District Court Judgeships VACANT in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ (CCA) area of responsibility. Hopefully these will be filled quickly with Trump appointees IF LINDSEY GRAHAM doesn’t allow the ‘RATS to veto them with the BLUE SLIP process he plans to allow for District Court nominees.
Thanks for the correction (Ninth Circuit still far from balanced), I blindly parroted something I saw elsewhere without checking. Did seem too good to be true.
