Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals we have a Problem

Trump Wants to Reshape the Courts. A Liberal Judge Unwittingly Helped Him.

WASHINGTON — In the spring of 2014, a friend tried to nudge Judge Stephen Reinhardt, then an 83-year-old liberal stalwart on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, into stepping aside from full-time duties so President Barack Obama could nominate a successor.

The friend, Erwin Chemerinsky, now the dean at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, said he had gently suggested to Judge Reinhardt that he and another longtime liberal figure on the San Francisco-based court make way while Democrats still had the power to assure that jurists with a similar philosophy would take their place. Judge Reinhardt swiftly rejected that notion and stayed on.

The vacancy is one of eight on the appeals court, which has 29 active judges — a vivid illustration of the larger opportunity for Mr. Trump to put an enduring stamp on the makeup of the federal judiciary nationwide by installing candidates of a more conservative bent.

“With a Republican Senate and no possibility of a filibuster, he can have whoever he wants on the circuit court,” Mr. Chemerinsky said. “It will dramatically change the Ninth Circuit.”

This is a huge development, thanks Hillary.

Filling the courts with sympathetic judges is extremely important. Legal precedence is the most important thing.

President Trump is going to kick the 9th 'Circus' out of town and welcome in a couple of dozen REP judges with lifetime appointments.
Thanks BONOBO.

Legal precedents can be twisted to fit narratives that are not conducive to justice. Just like they twisted the whole bullshit case made for ACA forcing everyone and their brother into feeding the insurance scams across the nation.

There's a reason it's known as the Ninth Circus Court.

Ironically, trumpanzees forget the 6th Circuit which has a much worse record of being overturned.

Activist judges will be an endangered species soon enough.

Well, sparky, be sure to let us know when it's routinely referred to as the Sixth Circus Court. Thanks.

I am sure it does snowflake. Now all you have to do is prove that was the intention and I have the means, otherwise you are just being crazy as usual.

And here I thought the object was to fill the court with fair and impartial judges.

Oh, I guess it's only liberal who would want that.

Being an activist judge is not being fair or impartial, this is the hallmark of a liberal judge these days.

Umm...... No.

Umm...... No.

Well, that ends the discussion then doesn't it?

 

[saveliberty]

So...crepitus has no problem with fair conservative judges taking over the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, good to know. Let your Congressperson know.

Wait, why are you idiots rooting for judges to be partisan?

Wait, why are you idiots rooting for judges to be partisan?

Because that is what liberals do, instead of applying the Constitution to the specific case at hand.

So the solution is to do the same thing they are doing? Hmm ... seems like a very human idea.

And by that I mean, a stupid one.

Nope...if you want to beat the Communists then you must play like the Communists.
