Sorta shocking that Reinhardt, Posner, and Kozinski — who were all appeals court judges with outsized, national reputations — all left the bench within a 7-month period.

This is not good... gives Trump a chance to ruin one of the best progressive Fed court districts in nation. This is a loss to nation and justice.

One of the Great Liberal judges who consistently disregard law and the Constitution and rule based on personal bias and belief. A perfect example of what a judge should not be and what a judge should not do.
