  2. 2) of the fact that both of our President's Supreme Court nominations have been confirmed. However, the story doesn't end there. Look at what is being done with the Appellate Courts. They are being totally transformed right in front of our eyes.https://twitter.com/LarrySchweikart/status/1049797606983909376 …

    The Trump/Yertle Judicial Offensive does not stop with Justice K. Porter (3rd), Nelson (9th), Sullivan (2nd) on floor; Kobes 8th to be reported out of Committee, Murphy & Readler hearings tomorrow, Rushing (4th), Matey (3rd), Bade & Miller (9th) a wait hearings. 26+10=36!!

  7. Keep in mind that the 13 Appellate Courts have a total of 179 Judgeships. PDJT will have placed 20% of all Appellate Judges as soon as the Judges in Larry's tweet are confirmed. Why is this so critical? Look what just happened in North Dakota.
  8. Just had @ChuckGrassley tell me that if WH sends a nominee for the Kavanaugh vacancy on the D.C. Cicuit this week, it can be acted on this year. Close strong @realDonaldTrump and Don McGahn. Second most important court in the U.S. (Hint: Neomi Rao.)

NINTH CIRCUIT UPDATE! – President Donald Trump has selected three arch conservatives for vacant CALIFORNIA seats on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, two of them replacing arch liberal judges; Also, two arch conservatives for the NY Second Circuit. #MAGAhttps://t.co/MlhNZHsBIF

Three to the Ninth, two to the Second. If all nominees currently before the Senate are confirmed, the Ninth will move a 16-6 Dem tilt to 16-12. The Second will move from 7-3 Dem to 7-6.

Not really schooled on how these appointments work but the math above doesn't jive.

"the Ninth will move a 16-6 Dem tilt to 16-12"

Going from 22 judges in the Ninth to 28?

"The Second will move from 7-3 Dem to 7-6."

Going from 10 judges in the Second to 13?

Is this accurate?

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the Ninth Circuit is by far the largest of the thirteen courts of appeals, with 29 active judgeships.
Allegations of liberalism[edit]
According to the most current count, the Ninth Circuit has among the highest percentage of sitting judges appointed by Democratic presidents. Republicans argue the court is biased because of its high proportion of Democratic appointees.[6]

Rate of overturned decisions[edit]
From 1999 to 2008, of the 0.151% of Ninth Circuit Court rulings that were reviewed by the Supreme Court, 20% were affirmed, 19% were vacated, and 61% were reversed; the median reversal rate for all federal appellate courts was 68.29% for the same period.[7] From 2010 to 2015, of the cases it accepted to review, the Supreme Court reversed around 79 percent of the cases from the Ninth Circuit, ranking its reversal rate third among the circuits; the median reversal rate for all federal circuits for the same time period was around 70 percent.[8]

Some argue the court's high percentage of reversals is illusory, resulting from the circuit hearing more cases than the other circuits. This results in the Supreme Court reviewing a smaller proportion of its cases, letting stand the vast majority of its cases.[9][10]
