Ninth Circus got tied 9-9 a couple of weeks ago - with several vacancies remaining.
Dont think so, 9th circus has more than 18 judges and is so heavily liberal it would take a generation to fix

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 doesnt allow the RATS to veto them with the BLUE SLIP process he plans to allow for District Court nominees.
Hadn't heard that... that's great news!! Flipping the 9th Circus would -- next to flipping the SCOTUS -- be Trump's greatest accomplishment.
