And the REPUBLICANS, either by vote or silence, overwhelmingly confirmed damn near every leftists judge that obama put forward... Obama appointments already pulling appeals courts to the leftBy Shannon Bream Published August 31, 2016 FoxNews.com President Obama may be struggling to tilt the balance of the Supreme Court – but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t already made his mark on the bench. The president, over the course of his two terms, has appointed hundreds of justices to the lower federal courts, leading to a majority of appeals courts now dominated by Democratic picks. While those nomination battles aren’t nearly as high-profile as they are for the high court, the impact of the appointments is just as pronounced. “It's often overlooked, but nominees to the lower courts ... are often one of the most important legacies a president leaves behind,” said Elizabeth Wydra, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center. www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/31/obama-appointments-already-pulling-appeals-courts-to-left.html

How Liberal Judges Took Control of 70 Percent of US Appeals CourtsPhilip Wegmann, September 04 2016 On the campaign trail in 2008, Barack Obama promised to fundamentally transform the United States of America. After nearly eight years as president, he has delivered on one front by reshaping the federal judiciary. That revolution has been comprehensive, dramatic, and under the radar. When Obama entered the Oval Office, liberal judges controlled just one of the 13 circuits of the U.S. Court of Appeals. Fifty-five successful presidential nominations later, liberal majorities now control nine of those appeals benches, or 70 percent. Outside of legal circles the transformation of the influential federal appeals courts has gone largely unnoticed, though. dailysignal.com/2016/09/04/how-liberal-judges-took-control-of-70-percent-of-us-appeals-courts/
