PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND FEDERAL BENCH DIVERSITY Carl Tobias∗ Abstract President Donald Trump constantly reminds United States citizens about the myriad circuit and district court appointments that his White House is making to the federal judiciary. Last September, Trump proposed the seventh “wave,” which included three people of color among sixteen judicial nominees. This wave permitted the administration to triple the number of ethnic minority picks whom it had selected, which means that the Executive Branch has proffered ten persons of color in 113 appeals court and district court submissions, yet none is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individual. Nevertheless, a problematic pattern, which implicates a stunning lack of ethnic- minority, LGBT, and female nominees rather swiftly arose, even though the administration is relatively nascent.

Last year’s death of the iconic liberal champion Stephen Reinhardt and the late 2017 departure of libertarian former Chief Judge Alex Kozinski—who both assumed pivotal circuit leadership roles over numerous years—and a few of their colleagues’ decision to leave active court service thereafter, mean the tribunal presently confronts four judicial emergencies and resolves most slowly the largest number of appeals. The 2016 and 2018 federal election cycles—which render uncertain the party that will capture the presidency and the Senate at the polls in 2020—show that more posts could open when additional jurists determine that they will change status across the Trump Administration. Nevertheless, striking partisanship will frustrate the effort to appoint Ninth Circuit judges.

    A Brief Overview of President Obama's Asian American Judicial Nominees in 2010

    A Brief Overview of President Obama's Asian American Judicial Nominees in 2010 Jonathan Jew-Limt INTRODUCTIONtt In 2009, President Obama made history by selecting the first Chinese American woman to sit on the federal bench (Dolly Gee), and the first Vietnamese American Article III judge (Jackie Nguyen).' Obama also nominated Denny Chin to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, though Chin has not yet been confirmed. 2 This year may prove to be an even greater turning point for the representation of Asian Americans in the federal judiciary. As of March, Obama has nominated three Asian Americans to serve in the federal judiciary: Edward Chen, Lucy Koh, and Goodwin Liu.' Together, the three candidates represent not only a wide- ranging set of professional qualifications, but also a unique collection of personal backgrounds that exemplifies the diversity of the Asian American t J.D., University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, 2011; A.B., Princeton University, 2004.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S WAR ON FEDERAL JUDICIAL DIVERSITY Carl Tobias• In Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, the candidate promised to nominate and confirm federal judges who would possess ideologically conservative perspectives. Across President Trump's first twenty-seven months, the chief executive implemented numerous actions to effectuate his campaign pledge. Indeed, federal judicial selection may be the area in which President Trump has achieved the most substantial success throughout his first twenty-seven months in office, as many of Trump's supporters within and outside the government recognize. Nevertheless, the chief executive's achievements, principally when nominating and confirming stalwart conservatives to the appellate court bench, have imposed numerous critical detrimental effects. Most important for the purposes of this Article, a disturbing pattern that implicates a stunning paucity of minority nominees materialized rather quickly. Moreover, in the apparent rush to install staunch conservative ideologues in the maximum possible number of appeals court vacancies, the Republican White House and Senate majority have eviscerated numerous invaluable, longstanding federal judicial selection conventions.

NOMINATE JUDGE KOH TO THE NINTH CIRCUIT AGAIN Carl Tobias Abstract During February 2016, President Barack Obama nominated United States District Judge Lucy Haeran Koh to a “judicial emergency” vacancy on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. She has capably served over multiple years in the Northern District of California competently deciding numerous high-profile lawsuits, specifically regarding intellectual property. Accordingly, the President’s efforts to confirm her were unsurprising. However, 2016 was a presidential election year when judicial nominations traditionally slow and ultimately halt. This difficulty was exacerbated when Republicans consistently refused to implement any confirmation process for United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Chief Judge Merrick Garland, the experienced and mainstream nominee whom the chief executive had chosen to fill Justice Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court vacancy during March 2016.
