    •  Trump's greatest achievement to date is...
    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 05:06 PM PST


    DAILYKENN.com -- Donald Trump's greatest achievement to date is debatable. But if I had to narrow it down to one, I would cite flipping the 9th Circuit Court as his most significant. 

    The sprawling 9th Circuit Court has long been considered a stronghold of the far left. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is authorized 29 judgeships while the district courts of the circuit are authorized 112 judgeships. As Trump appoints new judges with lifetime tenures, the effect may ripple for decades. 

    "Trump has now named 10 judges to the 9th Circuit — more than one-third of its active judges — compared with seven appointed by President Obama over eight years," said The Los Angeles Times. 

    The court is expected to continue it's move to the right as the president continues to wield his influence. 

    The federal judiciary is comprised of 94 district courts, 13 circuit courts, and one Supreme Court. There are twelve federal circuits that divide the country into different regions. The 13th court of appeals is the Federal Circuit, which has nationwide jurisdiction over certain appeals based on specialized subject matter.

    They are called "circuit" courts of appeal because, originally, Supreme Court judges were expected to visit the courts annually.

    • Yes. This makes it, imo, a mortal sin of omission to fail to support President Trump's bid for re-election in 2020. The reason being that abortion is sure to be outlawed if President Trump wins another term. The facts on federal judges alone make it statistically certain. A young, conservative, pro-life majority that will shape the American Judiciary for decades to come is being formed. Vote for and support it and be a part of the coming pro-life victory.

    Trump and McConnell continue to transform the federal judiciary

    After three years in office, President Trump and the Republican-held Senate have installed a total of 187 judges to the federal bench, with Trump nominees now making up one in four U.S. circuit court judges, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.
    Why it matters: Trump's transformation of the federal judiciary will ensure that it maintains a conservative tilt for decades, likely affecting future progressive legislation and priorities no matter the outcome of next November’s election.
    By the numbers: Trump has so far appointed two Supreme Court justices and 50 judges on the 13 U.S. circuit courts. By comparison, Obama appointed two Supreme Court justices and 55 circuit judges during the entirety of his two terms.

    Between the lines: The president and Senate Republicans selected younger conservatives for lifetime appointments to ensure that their impact is felt years after the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post.
    Of note: While the House voted to impeach the president last week, the Senate confirmed an additional 13 district court judges.
    What's next: Trump and Senate Republicans have only one circuit court vacancy left to fill this year. More could open up next year, and there will certainly be vacancies in Trump's second term if he wins in November.

    • Then there's the Supreme Court. It's only a matter of time before pro-life Catholic Judge Amy Barrett is appointed by President Trump. https://www.axios.com/supreme-court-trump-judge-amy-barrett-ruth-bader-ginsburg-11d25276-a92e-4094-8958-eb2d197707c8.html


    Scoop: Trump "saving" Judge Amy Barrett for Ruth Bader Ginsburg seat

    As he was deliberating last year over replacing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Trump told confidants he had big plans for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

    "I'm saving her for Ginsburg," Trump said of Barrett, according to three sources familiar with the president's private comments. Trump used that exact line with a number of people, including in a private conversation with an adviser two days before announcing Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.

    Barrett is a favorite among conservative activists, many of whom wanted her to take Kennedy’s spot.

    But Trump chose to wait.

    Yes, but: There's no guarantee Trump will get another Supreme Court pick. It's very unlikely Ginsburg will retire while he’s in office. And though she's 86 and has had 3 bouts with cancer, she's on the bench now and appears healthy.

    Between the lines: Trump changes his mind all the time, and Barrett would need to undergo a fresh round of vetting to review the rulings and public comments she's made since confirmed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017.

    Barrett's education didn't appeal to Trump, according to sources familiar with his thinking. She went to law school at Notre Dame, and Trump prefers candidates with Harvard and Yale on their resumes.

    Why it matters: Trump has already pulled the court well to the right. If he gets to replace Ginsburg, especially with Barrett, he would cement a young, reliably conservative majority that could last for decades.
