This is what it's all about boys

"When President Trump ticks off his accomplishments since taking office, he frequently mentions his aggressive makeover of a key sector of the federal judiciary — the circuit courts of appeal, where he has appointed 51 judges to lifetime jobs in three years. <P>
In few places has the effect been felt more powerfully than in the sprawling 9th Circuit, which covers California and eight other states. Because of Trump's success in filling vacancies, the San Francisco-based circuit, long dominated by Democratic appointees, has suddenly shifted to the right, with an even more pronounced tilt expected in the years ahead. <P>
Trump has now named 10 judges to the 9th Circuit — more than one-third of its active judges — compared with seven appointed by President Obama over eight years. "Trump has effectively flipped the circuit," said 9th Circuit Judge Milan D. Smith Jr., an appointee of President George W. Bush."

    So is this going to change the 9th moniker from " The most overturned court in the land?"

    Never would have guessed Clint would have supported Little Mike. I find that hard to believe.

    Not sure if flipping the 9th will make much of a difference. In the States that the Court rules, the Governors of those States don't care what the voters, or even the President says, they just go ahead and do what they want.
