President Donald Trump has ushered in the end of an era no more will liberals dominate the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and use the federal appellate court as a rubber stamp for defeating pro-life legislation and pushing abortion on demand.
Today the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lawrence VanDyke to serve on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. President Trump nominated VanDyke in September.
He is a committed and strong 'constitutionalist' who will uphold the values and deeply held beliefs of our nation. VanDyke joins the ranks of over 150 judges confirmed to the court by President Trump judges of the highest caliber with respect for the Constitution and the rights of all people.
President Trump continues to make good on his promise to end liberal judicial activism on the federal bench. With 13 of 29 judges on the court appointed by Republican presidents, the liberal rubber stamp of the Ninth Circuit has been stilled.

WINNING! :)
I can’t wait until November 2020 and we elect President Trump to a second term, take back the House and add seats to the Senate. I hope to see the end of the Democrat party and liberalism. I hope to see our schools be taken back from the liberals. We have got to take our country back and get some common sense back in place.
It’s now 13 R to 16 D. So we need only TWO more appointments that replace D’s. Then it would be 15 R to 14 D. Conservatives would be the majority.
before he leaves office Trump should nominate and the senate confirm judges for every single open judge position in the country. Leave no open seats for the next person to fill.
Amen to that Brother..!! With some luck, Trump will be able get down to cleaning out the swamp in a big way...
All this is great but he still has to go another four years to just equal the judges Barky put in.
29 Judges on 9th Circuit Court.
We have 13
They have 16
If Trump gets to appoint 2 more that Court is controlled by Republicans.
This is miraculous.
Thank you, God, for giving us President Trump.
13 of the 29... Let me know when they get 15 of the 29.
I understand that IS the Pres.s goal....he has stated so.
Glad we lost them. We needed to clean out the RINOs (most of whom are actually controlled by the Deep State, just like most of the Dems).
Most of those RINOs were advised not to run lest their crimes be exposed. Do you really think Paul Ryan decided on his own not to run again when he was Speaker of the House, on an upward career trajectory, with more power than he’d ever had before?
JMO. YMMV.
I read somewhere that 82% of the 9th’s ruling are eventually overturned.
I am becoming more and more curious whether or not the G.W. Bush administration and the GOP majority Senate - 2003 to 2007 - failed in penetrate the Liberal majority in the courts, due to a lack of will, or to the choices of the appointments made.
I think certainly lack of will (unwillingness to adopt different rules) was part of the reason, but unlike Trump I think quite a number of G.W. Bush appointees were not of a “Federalist” mode, as are most of Trump’s. Certainly, and primarily, John Roberts has been a great disappointment to Conservatives and often applauded by Liberals.
I read something today where a top Dim was claiming that one result of the Horowitz report is that clearly, to that Dim, there is no “deep state”. I would suggest that given the abuses the Horowitz investigation acknowledges, that only a functioning deep state would have sat on its hands for those abuses. Were there not such a deep state at the DOJ and FBI, the “whistleblowers” would have been cascading out of the woodwork all over those two institutions.
Conversely, the RINOS seem to pretend the rest of us do not see that they are captives of the Democrats and particularly the Democrats’ programs, not their opponents, but persons who simply want to manage the Democrats’ government agendas better than the Democrats do.
From the RINOS aligned with the Dims we get the deep state they both protect and the never ended, never killed Democrats’ programs creating political dependencies propped up by federal industrial and personal subsidies.
Excellent news! Thanks for posting.
Bush rolled over to Senators Boxer and feinstein and the blue slip method that allowed senators to approve judges for positions in their state.

“Bush rolled over to Senators Boxer and feinstein and the blue slip method that allowed senators to approve judges for positions in their state.”
No, the GOP leadership of the Senate - 2003 to 2007 did that; that was their doing, and it is one thing the current GOP Senate leader is not doing.
That is not say that all GWBush appointments were good. Roberts was clearly not good.
