The 11th Circuit—which handles cases out of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia—now has a 7-to-5 majority of Republican appointees. dailysign.al/37yWQv6 via @FredLucasWH @DailySignal
@FredLucasWH @DailySignal As the House engaged in partisan bickering, the Senate voted to confirm Barbara Lagoa to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta on a bipartisan vote of 80-to-15 on Wednesday. The circuit now has a 7-to-5 majority of Republican appointees.
@FredLucasWH @DailySignal Trump also has been able to change the makeup of the Manhattan,-based US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to a 7-to-6 Republican-appointee majority and the Philadelphia-based US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit to an 8-to-6 majority of appointees of Republican presidents.
@FredLucasWH @DailySignal Trump has won 46 appeals court confirmations by the Senate in just under three years in office. That’s double that of his predecessor, President Barack Obama, who had 23 appeals court judges confirmed during his eight years in office.
