Trump flips third appeals court to majority GOP appointed judges

The Tuesday confirmation of Judge Robert J. Luck created a majority for Republican-appointed judges on the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals, the third such party flip in a federal court of appeals during the Trump presidency.

President Trump has also created GOP majority courts in the Third Circuit, which flipped in March, and the Second Circuit, which flipped last week with the confirmation of Steven Menashi. Since Trump assumed office in 2017, 163 title III judges have been confirmed to the bench, including Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

The confirmation of Barbara Lagoa to the 11th Circuit is also expected in the coming days after Luck was easily confirmed by the Senate with a 64 to 31 vote. The change to a GOP-fortified 11th Circuit could mean a significant shift in the outcome of several election law disputes, primarily from Georgia and Florida, which the court is currently involved in.

Now let's flip the 9th, and call it the GOP coup of the Democrats. Screw them and their attempt to remove America's elected president. If there was ever a president in recent history that should have been removed from office (it's not Clinton), it was Obama. Heck, he wasn't even qualified to be on the ticket. Every exception to the rules was employed to get him on the ballot, and he shouldn't have been allowed to take the oath of office (on a Quran, no less). But he was the first black they could put on the ticket, and every exception was made to protect him from any scrutiny. And any scrutiny was met with charges of racism. I wish the Republicans went after Obama, like the Democrats have been going after Trump, ever sense he won the election (and before). MAGA 2020
