Indianajonze 379 Posted December 14, 2018 Well there it is folks. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Judge Thomas Vanaski today announced his retirement from the 3rd circuit effective Jan 2. With Bibas (I told you all he's a good one) and Porter safely installed and with Matey on deck as soon as the Jeff flake blockade is ended, this means that for the very first time, there will be a CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY on the 3rd circuit. Vanaski was an obama appointee and his retirement is rather shocking. This is the best news you'll hear all year. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted December 14, 2018 That's outstanding news! Some of the decisions coming out of that court have been mind-boggling... talk about "legislating from the bench." This is a very positive development. I hope they get a replacement in there swiftly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indianajonze 379 Posted December 14, 2018 I cannot understate how huge this is. It's the first circuit Court in the nation that Trump is going to turn conservative, and it happens to be ours. It swings from a 10-4 liberal paradise to a solid 8-6 conservative majority. YUGE! I'll be honest, I track this stuff closely and did not see this one coming. My money was on the 11th being the first one he flipped. Vanaski's out of the blue announcement is a Christmas miracle https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/11/19/donald-trumps-judges-making-courts-more-conservative-slowly/2005281002/ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
