A friend sent me a link that the orange nazi will appoint judges to the 9th Circuit

And it could change the court for years to come. I never thought of this shit and it just sends chills all over me, this shit just cannot be real.

snipped
As the new year rears its head, the 9th Circuit is facing a four-seat vacancy: Two are currently empty and two will become vacant when other judges assume senior status at the end of 2016.

Why are four vacancies on a court of 29 active judges an emergency? U.S. courts designate vacancies on the 9th Circuit as emergencies and critical to fill as soon as possible due to the court’s huge caseload, according to University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias.

it could destroy lots of progressive rulings. I mean could a new court revive and revise past rulings of the 9th?
