[17th Miss Regt]

The Dems were so busy trying to remove Trump from office via impeachment that they did not mind the shop. They should have been trying to flip several votes on the judicial nominees but they dropped the ball. And McConnell pushed through Trump’s nominees one after another.

Tuff tamales, libtard fools.

[Zhang Fei]

The majority were appointed by Democrats. This journo has a strange definition of “flipped”. Maybe “flipped” is the word of choice for “not completely Democrat”.

Milan Smith is 78 this year and time for move to senior status.

Remaining GOP ckt judges need to get younger before election day.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Some of the older Clinton appointees might be waiting until after the election to retire, hoping for a democrat president.

Trump is psychotic when it comes to appointing queers

[Vendome]

The 9th circus of 80% losers is finished in 2022...

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

No concerns from them about a SOCIALIST running for president? None?

[ETCM]

The term “flipped” seems pretty overblown, at least for now. Readers find out a little further in that Democratic appointees still outnumber Republican appointees 16-13 on the panel. Even that’s a little misleading, as Ed Whelan notes, as a few of the Republicans are considered moderate-to-liberal, including the one that claims the court has been “flipped”:

It is far from flipped, but because of the way the courts operate, in 3-judge panels, more decisions from these panels are coming back with reasonable decisions. Previously, these decisions happened infrequently, and could be overruled when needed by en "en banc" review by a larger number of judges who could more reasonably be trusted to reach a decision acceptable to the left. But the courts are busy, and re-arguing cases en banc takes up a lot of time. So, they have to pick and choose cases that are more important to them, and let lesser cases slip by. So, the court is a little "better", but still far from flipped. It will take at least 5 or 6 more judges to do that.

[zeestephen]

The news is not 100% good on the Ninth Circuit.

Trump appointments:

(1) Mark J. Bennett - 27 Republicans voted “No”

(2) Bridget Bade - 25 Democrats voted “Yes”

(3) Danielle Hunsaker - 24 Democrats voted “Yes”

Also...

Milan Smith, the “Republican” judge who said Trump flipped the Ninth Circuit, was confirmed 93-0 in 2006.

[Dixie Yooper]

If 1/3 of the judges are conservative, then 2/3 of the judges in the 9th not conservative. Progress, yes. Flipped? NOT even close yet. If Trump had won 1/3 of the electoral votes in 2016, would the Country have flipped for him? Of course not. Someone posted a similar celebratory story over a month ago for the same thing. Do you want Mitch to stop the Senate from confirming more? Until we win the 9th by an actual majority, nothing has flipped.

[Jacquerie]

It’s just a crummy shame how the Left has, over a few generations, politicized the judiciary to the point that judges openly rule on the basis of fuzzy social justice rather than any law, supreme or statutory.

Thanks to “sweet mystery of life” Anthony Kennedy, our grandkids are indoctrinated in kindergarten with the joys of rump-rodeo.
