?? HOW many is that for the tenure, so far? We all know that pace won’t last/remain.
My bigger question is: How many were impeached from the bench for over-reach, anti-Constitutional rulings and the like?
IMO, not enough of the latter vs. the former.
“Someone needs to slap down the 9th Circus.”
Better still, break it up! Maybe three courts.
Agreed, not enough.
9th circus could easily be divided and reorganized It’s been discussed before. Now is the time to do it
80 of the empty seats are positions the ,Mc,Connell kept Obama from filling. The reason the demo rats are being obstructionist is because Mac wouldn’t let them fill those seats. As much as I don’t appreciate him, he kept the SCOTUS seat open as well as these 80 other judicial seats.
I’m all for that, too, with lots of new judges appointed by Trump. Move the existing judges to a new Eastern District of Nevada, where they can handle Indian casinos and deal with desert mining law.
Judge Allison Eid?
Sounds like a muzzie!
You are right, but we also need to lean on Congress to rein in the out-of-control judiciary. Congress has the tools, but so far, won't use them.
Congress can restrict what kinds of cases the federal courts can hear.
Congress can remove judges who do not observe "good behavior."
Congress can restrict funding for the courts.
Congress can consolidate or abolish the inferior courts (those below the Supreme Court).
