The Ninth was tied as of last count with three more Trump nominees set for a vote and out of committee. Tipping the Ninth would be an absolutely devastating blow to the left. Tipping the DC would be a cherry on top of the cake.
Oh, and there are two more 3rd Circuit nominees in the process. One I believe is out of committee.
I just did a check on the DC circuit judges and came up with 9 R’s and 8 D’s not counting this judge confirmed today, don’t know if the list was accurate though.
