The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals – long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration – handed the president a major win late Monday, lifting a nationwide injunction on his asylum policy.
Earlier in the day, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in California had reinstated a nationwide halt on the Trump administration's plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, if they first crossed through another country on the way.
But in an administrative order first obtained by Politico, the 9th Circuit rolled Tigar's ruling right back, saying that for now it should only apply to the confines of the 9th Circuit — which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit now has seven Trump-appointed federal judges — more than any other federal appellate bench. The radical transformation of the court, which has 29 seats, is largely the result of Trump's push to nominate conservative judges and bypass traditional consultations with Senate Democrats.
Thirteen of the 29 seats are now occupied by GOP-appointed judges. Last year, that number stood at six.
"Thanks to Trump, the liberal 9th Circuit is no longer liberal," The Washington Post noted earlier this year.

That is good service.
The times, they are a-changing.
I’m glad Trump and the Senate see the importance of filling the vacancies on the federal courts as a priority.
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES.
Never thought this could happen is such a short amount of time. Never thought I’d see the day.
THIRTEEN TRUMP APPOINTED JUDGES ON 9th CIRCUIT
Congratulations Mr. President
Meaning what? Tall, slightly roundish, orange flame at top?
Superior courts need to do more slapping and harder until these lower court judges learn their place.
The real reason the MSM-Democrats hate him so much and keep up their insane drive to neuter him and drive him from office.
He interrupts their decades-long project to salt the judiciary with left-wing ideologues. The courts are arranged like a layer cake, with important cases forced to move up and down through the layers. It doesn't take that many logical, honorable judges to prevent an ideological takeover of the system, especially if they're dispersed across all layers.
Not to mention that these are lifetime appointments, pretty much untouchable by the other branches once they're installed.
Say what like about the turtle, he has delivered, in spades ( a CARDS reference, not a racial slur, you bigots!)
Unless Mitch starts supporting abortion and gun bans, he’s okay with me (for now).
Now impeach the district judge for failing to follow the appeals court instructions.
Thirteen of the 29 seats are now occupied by GOP-appointed judges. Last year, that number stood at six.

So we have seven new Trump appointed.
Likely to be better than Bush appointed.
Better headline: sanity returns to 9th circuit.
‘The liberal 9th Circuit is no longer liberal’
Maybe John Roberts should read his ally, the Washington Post. Even THEY KNOW that judges aren’t unbiased. Maybe they could convince him that Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan wouldn’t EVER vote within the confines of the US Constitution if it meant that Left would disagree with them.
Yes, that was a racial slur.
But I’m not telling Jim Robinson...I’m telling your parents!
McConnell needs to be replaced, but I give hi massive credit for his handling of judges.
Tired of this biased reporting.
Those were the 2 major promises he made on he campaign trail in his speeches. Turn the circuit and fed judges red and build the wall.
People were concentrating too much on the wall promise but what good is building a wall when those judges overturn them at every time because they Clinton or Obamatard judges?
From a 23 to 6 Democrat advantage, the Ninth circuit has narrowed to a 16 to 13 advantage.
The Supreme Court needs to strike down nationwide injunctions. There is no constitutional support for them. This started a n the 1960s. What we have now is rule by judicial fiat.
What I was taught in law school is that there is supposed to be this thing called the political question doctrine whereby the courts do not involve themselves in political matters. Judges have taken to completely ignoring it and issuing nationwide injunctions against government policies like petty unelected tyrants. Th SCOTUS needs to clip their wings.
“Trump appointed.
Likely to be better than Bush appointed.”
Pretty much Federalist society selected.
The SCOTUS needs to clip their wings.

True, but good luck getting John Roberts to do that.
