Judge Garland returns to the DC Circuit

will start hearing cases again on Jan 18, https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/sixtyday.nsf/fullcalendar?OpenView&count=1000

No surprise that he was never confirmed....Republicans have long had deep sense of entitlement when it comes to judicial nominations, so there was no way they were going to let President Obama fill this seat since they control the senate....

Yahoo! A limited victory by the bad guys.

His is the most important circuit in the nation, and most important cases never make it past the appellate level of any circuit.

You successfully stole the Supreme Court vacancy away from President Obama and now the unpopularly-elected sexual predator will get it instead.

Kindly go bungee jumping in an active volcano, you unAmerican shitbags.

Trump will destroy almost everything this nation holds dear, but is likely gone in 4 years. the damage done to SCOTUS, especially if any other liberals leave, will likely last 30 years until the court has any chance of being blue again.
