152 Judges appointed by Trump in three years

Probably the most important thing he's done since defeating Hillary, and it seems to be mostly happening being the scenes. 44 left a ton of vacancies.

Gov Cumo of NYistan vetoed a law allowing all federal judges to perform weddings because it would lead to Trump appointees officiating at such ceremonies.

So, was Obama lazy, incompetent or have some weird plan for Hillary doing what Trump is doing? No, serious. Why were there so many vacancies?
I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering at their plan.
BTW, read last week that even the Ninth has flipped conservative. Winning.

I don't think the 9th has flipped yet, but it's getting close.
I think it was McConnell, not Obama. He held fast on Garland and lower court appointments waiting until the 2016 election was over.

when Trump took office there were over a 100 vacancies. So the reason was the Republicans held the senate and McConnell held the appointments up.

Good Old Dirty Harry Reid blew away the filibuster so he could appoint Obama judges. Mitch warned him it would come back to bite him and it did. Dirty Dems can't block Trump appointments.
Not to be a pain, but they will still rule against gunz and shit all over the 2A.

President Trump Has Made History; Senate Confirms His 200th Federal Judge

President Trump Has Made History; Senate Confirms His 200th Federal Judge
Fifth Circuit nominee Cory T. Wilson was confirmed by the Senate this week. The confirmation adds not just another constructionist to the bench but also marks a major milestone. Under President Donald Trump, 200 federal judges have now been appointed. The importance of fortifying the courts with constitutionalists will become extremely apparent over the coming months and years as lawlessness and radical activism become increasingly pervasive.
NOT ONLY HAS PRESIDENT TRUMP APPOINTED MORE JUDGES THAN PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIS JUDGES ARE ALSO WIDELY SEEN AS BETTER QUALIFIED

NOT ONLY HAS PRESIDENT TRUMP APPOINTED MORE JUDGES THAN PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIS JUDGES ARE ALSO WIDELY SEEN AS BETTER QUALIFIED
- 40% of Trump's appellate nominees have clerked for a Supreme Court Justice, and about 80% clerked on a federal court of appeals, while less than a quarter of Obama's nominees clerked for the Supreme Court, and less than half with federal appellate clerkship.
- Vox: " The average Trump appointee has far more impressive resume than any past president's nominees ."
- The average age of President Trump's circuit judge appointees is less than 50 years old, which is about 10 years younger than President Obama's circuit nominees .
Blah blah blah. This is great news though. But this is just some slanted cut and paste from some GOP bunker.
President Trump is still a madman and I will be glad when he is defeated in November. I am sick of the bastard. And f*** you if you don't like it. And Im sick of the Kennedy adds too. He is a shit bag.
Thanks

Personality vs. Policy? We'll Take Trump's 200 Judges
Tony Perkins · Jun. 26, 2020
Wednesday, the Senate voted 52-48 to confirm Cory Wilson to sit on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, marking the 200th judicial appointment for the Trump administration. We talk about this a bit, but we can’t talk about it enough. In just over his first three years in office, Trump has appointed 53 circuit court judges, 143 trial court judges, two international trade court judges and two Supreme Court justices — nearly matching President Obama’s numbers in some of these categories despite the fact that he had two full terms to do it. Just imagine what President Trump could do if he gets another term.
FRC’s Vice President for Policy & Government Affairs Travis Weber joined me on Washington Watch Wednesday to talk about it. As Travis told me, when “we look at President Trump’s record, President Trump [and] Leader McConnell [are] doing a great job with these nominees being confirmed. These are originalists. These are textualists. These are nominees who will decide the facts, decide the case before them, not make law.”
The president has “flipped” the 2nd, 3rd, and 11th Circuits from majority Democrat-appointed to majority Republican-appointed circuit courts. He narrowed the Democrats’ extreme majority on the liberal 9th Circuit from 11 to 3. Now, one out of every 5 federal judges is a Trump nominee.
As Travis told me, the opposition “[doesn’t] like that [Senate Majority] Leader [Mitch] McConnell [and] President Trump [have] been [so] successful in confirming these nominees. They can’t stand it. That’s why they want to win the election, to be able to block these originalists and textualists from continuing to be confirmed.”
Indeed, we don’t know what openings we’ll have on the Supreme Court in a second Trump term. The president recently tweeted that he will be releasing a new list of Supreme Court justice nominees by September 1st.
Justice Ginsburg is 87 years old. Later this summer, Justice Breyer will turn 82. The next president will likely make one, perhaps even two, Supreme Court appointments.

There is a lot of talk about personalities these days. I prefer to talk about policy. The irony here is that despite all the attention given the former, the latter makes a lasting difference for our country.

The left's response to this is going to be to expand the courts and add even more 'judges'. Look at the continued threats to expand and pack SCotUS. They will do that with every state and federal court if given the chance.

Trump Hits Judicial Milestone
JULY 17, 2020
www.buckeyefirearms.org
[In the last full week of June], President Donald Trump’s 200th judicial nominee was confirmed; Judge Cory Wilson of Mississippi. Wilson will join the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Trump has now filled all federal circuit court vacancies, and appointed more appellate judges than any other president at this point in his presidency. He is closing in on making as many circuit court appointments as President Obama made throughout his two terms in the White House.
President Trump, during his 2016 campaign, became the first presidential candidate to release a list of potential Supreme Court nominees; a list that helped bolster his support among those concerned about how the highest court in the land would handle Second Amendment-related cases. Although there are concerns regarding recent inaction by the Supreme Court, the problem does not appear to lie with President Trump’s nominees; Justices Neal Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
So, yes, elections do matter. We can only shudder to think what a President Hillary Clinton list of appointees would have looked like, or what a President Joe Biden’s list might include.
As for Wilson, his Second Amendment bona fides are solid. This, of course, causes great consternation among those who oppose our right to keep and bear arms. After being confirmed, the anti-gun organization Giffords issued a statement referring to Wilson’s support of the Second Amendment as “extreme and irregular.”
There is nothing “extreme and irregular” about supporting a correct interpretation of the protections offered by the Second Amendment. Judge Wilson merely understands and respects the original intent of our Founding Fathers when they included the right to keep and bear arms in the Bill of Rights. In fact, it would be “extreme and irregular” to ignore the law as laid out in the nation’s founding documents.
Fortunately, President Trump continues to show he intends to protect the Second Amendment through the courts with his judicial appointments.

Thanks for outing yourself as a Hillary and Biden supporter. You should just turn in your firearms now so you can curry favor with your overlords if you're serious.
You are assuming he ever had any.
He just wanders in from DU now and then to crop dust the room and then goes back to brag about how he "Owned " everyone here.
Well he has a plus 19 feedback rating. So maybe he already sold them all. Or maybe they were bags of dicks?

Conservative Takeover of Appeals Court in Reach with Trump Reelection
Kevin Daley - SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
HTTPS://FREEBEACON.COM/COURTS/CONSERVATIVE-TAKEOVER-OF-APPEALS-COURT-IN-REACH-WITH-TRUMP-REELECTION/
Near-total control of the federal appeals courts is within reach for legal conservatives if President Donald Trump is reelected, administration allies believe.
Research provided to the Free Beacon by the Article III Project (A3P) shows that 59 circuit court judges were eligible for "senior status," a form of quasi-retirement, at the start of 2020—about 60 percent of them Democratic appointees. It's a figure that makes Trump's supporters bullish about the future.
"In President Trump's second term, Republicans could take control of all 13 of the critically important U.S. Courts of Appeals, the last stop for 99 percent of all federal appeals," A3P president Mike Davis told the Free Beacon. The A3P is an advocacy group that supports the president's judicial nominees.
When Trump took office, Democratic appointees had a majority on nine circuit courts to the GOP's four. The president has "flipped" three of those panels, and Davis believes Trump will turn still more in a second term. For example, 10 Democratic appointees on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will be eligible for senior status by January 2023. Democratic appointees currently have a three-seat advantage on that panel, putting control of the court within reach for Republicans.
"If President Trump is reelected, he could do the unthinkable for a Republican and flip the Ninth Circuit to conservative control," Davis told the Free Beacon, noting that Trump has already closed the partisan gap on that bench significantly.
Another promising venue for legal conservatives is the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers the Carolinas, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Judges installed by Democrats have a one-seat majority on that court, but six of them will be eligible for senior status by 2023, A3P's figures show.
The Fourth Circuit also highlights a budding problem for Republicans and a potential windfall for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Two right-leaning Fourth Circuit judges are at least 75 years old. According to A3P's data, there were 24 Republican appointees eligible for semi-retirement at the start of 2020. Retaining those seats will be a high priority in a Trump second term and could easily help Democrats make up ground lost since 2016 should Biden prevail.
"Fortunately, when President Trump is reelected, we will have another window of opportunity to replace these judges," Davis said of aging conservatives.
Mere eligibility for senior status is no guarantee of a retirement. Many judges serve well into their later years. U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown famously served on a federal trial court in Kansas until his death in 2012, at age 104.
The regional circuit courts hear appeals from the trial-level district courts and set precedent for the district judges in their respective areas. Since the Supreme Court only resolves about 75 cases per term, the circuit courts give the final word on the overwhelming majority of federal cases.
In addition, the 13 circuit courts are often feeders for the Supreme Court. Eight of the nine justices were previously circuit judges. Clerkships on the appeals courts are highly coveted by young lawyers, so installing Trump judges on the circuits has positive network effects for the conservative legal movement.
Beyond future appeals court vacancies, a top priority for the next administration is the 17 empty seats on the federal trial courts in California.
There are six Trump nominees to district courts in California awaiting final confirmation votes. Even assuming all are confirmed by year's end, there will be about a dozen California vacancies for the next president to fill, with additional empty seats in Washington state.
