President Trump Lands Sixth Judge On Ninth Circuit Court Of Appeals

President Trump has successfully appointed six judges to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Prior to Trump taking office, the Ninth Circuit had 19 Democratic appointees, 6 Republican appointees, and four vacancies, and is the most overturned court of appeals in the country. In May, the U.S. Senate confirmed two Trump nominees, Kenneth Lee and Daniel Collins, the fifth and six appointed judges.

Kenneth Lee The U.S. Senate confirmed Collins’ nomination by a 53-46 vote on May 21, 2019. He received commission on May 22, 2019. California’s home-state Senators Dianne Feinstein (D) and Kamala Harris (D) voted against Collins’ nomination.

Daniel Collins Senators confirmed Kenneth Lee’s nomination on a party-line 52-45 vote, giving President Trump his 40th circuit judge since taking office.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the third nominee, Daniel Aaron Bress, May 22. If he is confirmed by the committee, President Trump will have appointed seven judges to the Ninth Circuit.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrote an op ed about her objection: “Daniel Bress, was born in California but practices law in Washington, D.C., and lives in Virginia. In fact, since graduating from high school, Mr. Bress has only lived in California for one year and has been on the east coast for college, law school and the rest of his legal career.”

Daniel Bress “Currently the court is comprised of 16 judges appointed by Democratic presidents and 11 judges appointed by Republican presidents,” the Epoch Times reported. “If Trump successfully fills the two vacant seats, it would place the court at 16 Democratic appointed judges and 13 Republican appointed judges. This would be unprecedented for the California-based circuit court, which has included judges such as the late Stephen Reinhardt, often called the ‘liberal lion’ of the Ninth Circuit.”

Many of them are retirement age, when Trump wins a 2nd term, we will get more openings.

Gettin' there. If President Trump can turn the Ninth Circus toward sanity, it will be a truly great legacy.
