A Little drill down in the District Courts of the 9th Circuit
Alaska 7 Seats, 1 vacant, 6 Republican appointed
Arizona 13 seats 3 vacant, 7 Obama appointed 3 Bush/Trump
Central California 28 seats, 8 vacant, 9 Obama, 11 R appointed
Eastern California 6 seats 3 Obama 3 Bush
Northern California 14 seats 11 Obama 2 Clinton 1 Bush
Southern California 13 seats 5 vacant 4 Bush 4 Obama
Hawaii 4 seats 2 R 2 D
Idaho 2 seats 1R 1D
Montana 3 Seats all Obama
Nevada 7 seats 2 vacant 5 Obama
Oregon 6 seats 1 vacant 4D 1R
Eastern Washington 4 seats all Obama
Western Washington 7 seats 4 vacant 3 Bush
Pretty clear some of these are skewed far towards Democratic appointed judges: Arizona, Northern California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Eastern Washington.
Arizona will be almost even with appointments for the open seats, the others in the above list appear locked left for the foreseeable future.
Ping. Great post. Good info.
