      Judge Reinhardt, a liberal champion appointed to the bench by President Carter in 1980, was at a dermatologist's office, the court spokesperson said. His death was unexpected.

      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.

          It's called stacking the deck, and although it's legal (barely) it's immoral and deceitful to.thr people-not the criminals-who have to come up against the court who are not liberals.

          Assuming Trump fills all three, does that tilt the balance of the Court?

          There are several courts affected, and Trump has been filling dozens of open judicial appointments that the GOP Congress would not let Obama fill.
