发帖数: 24733 | 1 The White House on Tuesday announced the re-nomination of 51 federal
judicial nominees left over from the previous Congress, kickstarting the
administration's effort to install more conservative judges after GOP
activists worried that such appointments had stalled.
Nine of the 51 appointments are for spots on prestigious and influential
federal appellate benches, including two on the mostly liberal San Francisco
-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which President Trump has often derided
as "disgraceful" and politically biased.
Neomi Rao, the president's "regulatory czar," who would take now-Supreme
Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh's vacated seat on the D.C. Circuit
Court of Appeals, is on the list. Case Western University School of Law
professor and Washington Post commentator Jonathan H. Adler wrote when Rao
first joined the administration that "Trump's selection of Rao suggests the
administration is serious about regulatory reform, not merely reducing high-
profile regulatory burdens."
