The current make-up of the 5th Circuit is just about 50-50 with half being appointed by Bill The Rat and Jimmy Carter and the other half by Bush The Elder and Reagan. Yes, Pickering was nominated for a seat on the 5th Circuit; I'd rather see him and his conservative colleagues put on the 9th Circuit, so we MIGHT get some favorable RKBA rulings in the future here in the fascist state of California. As it is, there is very little reason to try and bring a federal lawsuit on behalf of anybody's RKBA in the 9th Circuit district, because they NEVER rule favorably on the RKBA. The 9th Circuit upheld the very unconstitutional Roberti-Roos AW ban, even though it was challenged on six separate Constitutional issues, including the 2nd.

In either case that is what I was getting at. Though when I looked today, at their wbsite, thought that there were more Reagan/Bush.
