American Thinker: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is about to become about ten percent less crazy. President Trump has nominated three new judges for the 29-seat circuit court, over the objections of the two senators representing their home state of California. Until Trump discarded the practice, home state senators were allowed to veto judicial nominations for courts in their states, a custom known as the “blue slip.” That seems quaint these days, a relic of a bygone era in which actual qualifications, not ideology, were the issue in Senate confirmation votes that, anyway, required a filibuster-proof 60 votes.
As a result, President Trump and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are filling the federal bench with judges and justices who read and apply the Constitution instead of deciding which outcome they want ideologically and then finding a rationalization for it. more here
Oops
“Defies?”
Kinda implies that they might have a decision in the matter.
Hehehehehe.
which they don’t.
If nothing else, they’ll be welcome “thorns in the sides” of the Delusional 9th.
9th circuit needs to be broken up. It’s huge. It was formed when population out west was very small. Congress needs to do this while Trump is in office.
President Trump is a American Hero
Hope everyone caught the Trump Blessing Live.
If not, wait for it.
@janitor – 100% agreement. Break up the 9th!
As it is now, any decision made by the 9th applies to Alaska, Arizona, California (Northern, Central, Southern, Eastern districts), Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington (Eastern, Western districts), and then throw in Guam and the Northern Marianas just for the heck of it.
In the short term, it would be good if the breakup resulted in a single circuit to cover the four districts of California. Put the most liberal most active of the 9th’s liberal activist judges in the CA circuit, and when they go weird on us, it only applies to CA and not to the rest.

Anything that defies Kamala Harris and Dead Eyes Di-Fi is a blessing to the country, to the whole world and makes angels sing.
This Thanksgiving I’m going to give thanks for Harry Reid, for imposing the nuclear option on confirmations
TIME TO SECEDE YET?
Any of you seriously think that existing with these loonballs is the way to go? To constantly fight the other 50% from destroying the country?
We lost Detroit, moved away, put it out of our memory, but the cancer still spreads.
Eventually you’ll decide it’s better to consolidate and start over. —With Texas.
