Read it and continue to weep, Pubs. While you continue your baseless attacks on every move this great President makes, yet another one of his accomplishments is to reshape the Appellate bench. The Supreme Court will shift with Hillary's two terms.
I don't see politics playing a significant role in shaping the complexion of the federal appellate bench. As for the Supreme Court, my favorite future candidates are Richard Posner, Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit appointed by President Reagan; and Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit, who is also a Reagan appointee. Both are brilliant jurists.
With so many of the administration’s policies facing legal challenges, the increased likelihood that those cases could end up before more ideologically sympathetic judges is a reassuring development to the White House.
Translation: the executive branch can now effectively rewrite the law, bypassing the US Congress. If the courts allow the executive to ignore a law, the exec. can get away with it.
I suppose this indeed a "plus" for those like the idea of a return to a monarchical/dictatorial system, where the executive branch is unimpeded by the messiness of having to work w/ the peoples' elected representatives.
