Epoch Times: Eric Miller, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, is heading for confirmation by the U.S. Senate as the first such nominee ever to gain approval without a home-state senator’s blue slip.
In a Feb. 26 statement headlined “Senate to Confirm Impressive Nominee for Ninth Circuit,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) described Miller as having a “distinguished record in both public service and private practice.”
McConnell also noted that Miller “holds degrees from Harvard and the University of Chicago. And his legal experience includes prestigious clerkships on our nation’s highest courts.”
Miller clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and oversees the appellate practice group for the Perkins & Coie firm in Seattle. He has argued 10 cases before the nation’s highest court.
The Senate voted 51–46 late Feb. 25 to end debate on Miller’s nomination. McConnell is expected to schedule the final vote later this week. Read more

Maybe a sane person on the ninth circuit! Will wonders never cease?

“Perkins & Coie?

…make that THREE reasons not to like the guy, @Zonga…
He should be made unemployed immediately by an Act of Congress shutting down the 9th Circuit and farming out its duties to Judge Judy!
So can we assume this guy is the lowest scum on earth in the opinion of congressional demorats?

Trump nominee gets confirmed to the 9th circuit. Well, one down, 28 to go!
“Whilst low I.Q. Leftists obsess over a hit job by a convicted liar and disgruntled employee, President Trump continues to nominate (and the U.S. Senate continues to confirm) Conservative judges to crucial appointments all over our nation. ”
…which is WHY the hit job is so IMPORTANT to them, @C Steven Tucker. With SO many Trump appointees already placed, what they want NOW is to find a way, ANY way, to say he was NEVER a legitimate President, which would allow them to immediately vacate ALL of his appointments with no due process whatsoever.
…and don’t think they won’t do it, if they EVER think they have weakened him enough…
