appealing this decision yesterday from the federal district court judge. him having to testify before the house judiciary committee. an appeal filed with the d.c. circuiton to stay just jackson's order. in their appeal and in their motion to stay, they cited a 2008 case where the d.c. district court ordered bush white house counsel to testify to congress. the circuit issued a stay in that case.

host: which court of appeals, appeals court in the federal system, has the -- has president trump been able to appoint the moats just -- most judges to? guest: the answer is the ninth circuit where he's already appointed six or seven. another one likely to be confirmed today. two more in the pipeline. the ninth circuit has been notoriously the most liberal court in the country. after the panel has ruled, there will be a process where the losing party can ask for the court to reconsider and at that point, the court can vote to hear it. there is a limited panel procedure that would sit on that hearing. the appellant could i pass that and then head to the supreme court. >> the only reason trump has been around so many federal judges is because the democrats in nevada senator harry reid invoked the so-called nuclear option and changed the rules of the senate and made it a lot .asier the did not understand what consequences would be of what they were doing and i think they are making the same mistake again with this impeachment charade. i don't think they understand the collateral damage to our democratic system. the only thing that holds our together is aty willingness to acce

. >> which court of appeals in the federal system has president trump been able to appoint the most justices, judges to? circuitwhere he has already appointed six or seven. with another one likely to be confirmed today and two more in the pipeline. the ninth circuit has been notoriously the most liberal court in the country. largely because when jimmy carter was president, it basically doubled in size and he packed the court with judges who set for a long time. when president trump took office, there was an imbalance .f 19 democratic appointees that margin will soon be 16 democrats to 13 republicans, much tighter. the other courts where president trump has flipped the court, so to speak, from majority democratic to republican appointees, it already happened in the third circuit and is poised to happen in the 11th circuit. >> all of the appeals courts do not have the same number of judges appointed to them. >> there is a huge difference. the first circuit has six. maine,rs massachusetts, new hampshire, i believe. 29 judges.ircuit has the courts differ dramatically in size. when it comes to an appeals court, it c

federal law based on where they live. so the court solves those divisions. we take it because there's a split in the circuit in the u.s. court of appeals and the law of what the court does is does that, they make sure there's uniformity in the way the federal laws interpret in the way the federal laws apply. there are also cases that we take because they are important. anytime a lower court invalidates a federal statue on constitutional grounds, we take the case because we think if there is something that congress has done that is getting invalidated by a court it should be us, it should be the top court. and sometimes will take cases just because we know were going to have to deal with them at some point, it's a kind of case that affects too many people for the supreme court not to resolve the question about it. and so we will do it. >> you ever not take a case because it's too hot to handle politically? >> not in that sense, i think there are times there are reasons for saying let's not take this now, we have just handled several cases on the same subject, we should see how that plays out but i don't think very often there's times wh

circuit court of appeals. i urge my republican colleagues to do the right thing today and reject the menashi nomination. on tax returns. yesterday, a federal court -- appeals court ruled that congress can seek eight years of the president's tax returns. no doubt, the president will appeal the ruling to the supreme court in an effort to keep hidden what the president has been hiding for as long as he's been in public life, his tax returns. why the president has engaged in such an astounding breach of transparency is still unknown. president trump, what are you hiding? the d.c. circuit's decision in an 8-3 ruling was clearly the correct legal result. it should be upheld. on farmers and veterans, last but not least. president trump has long fashioned himself a champion of everyday americans. workers, farmers, veterans. this week has been a grim reminder that despite the president's promises, his administration almost every week undermines the very people he claims to champion. take our veterans who serve as we commemorated earlier this week on veterans day. the department of veterans' affairs decided in 2017 to help vietnam-era veterans who w

circuit court judges. we've done it across all 12 appeals courts nationwide. and these judges will decide over 99% of the federal cases in america. president trump has nominated each of these judges. senate republicans confirmed each of these judges. and these judges now hold a full one-quarter, one out of every four all circuit court seats in america. mr. president, all of these judges have lifetime appointments. these circuit court judges are ruling right now, and they are doing it on major cases all across the country. so how are they making a difference in people's lives? well, number one, by protecting americans' constitutional rights. also by upholding our individual freedoms and by checking, putting a check on government power. above all, these judges are applying the law as written, not legislating from the bench. mr. president, based on the 45 circuit court judges that we have seated and the judges that we will continue to seat, senate republicans have delivered conservative judges who will serve our nation for decades to come. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quor

system as a whole including consolidating federal appeals and one circuit, clarifying the so-called categorical approach, and revising statutory language the supreme court has found unconstitutionally vague. we stand ready to continue to work with congress to strengthen existing laws and more effectively address many challenges facing. the immigration system today. . . again, thank you for the opportunity to testify and i will be pleased to answer any questions the committee may have. >> thank you, mr. mchenry. i will do some question. normally, i would defer. there are a couple things that popped out at me. talked about der oh --ero docket of can we start reconciling the numbers and what they mean? i will defer to mr. benner regarding the 3 million caseload, but i think they are already filed final that have to be processed or reviewed. on our side, the caseload has increased almost exponentially over the past decade but it has increased considerably in the past three years. most of that appears to be driven by changes to the border. our judges are adjudicating cases efficiently as they possibly can. as i alluded to, we made significant improvements. >

circuits meaning u.s. courts of appeal and a lot of what the courts does is make sure there's uniformity is federal law is interpreted and federal law is implied but there are cases that in case their importance. anytime a lower court's invalidates a federal statute on constitutional grounds we take that case just because we think if there is something that congress has done that is getting invalidated by a court it should be us in the top cou court. sometimes we take cases just because we know we will have to deal with them at some point and it's the kind of case that affects too many people for the supreme court not to resolve the question about it and so we will do it. >> to ever not take a case because it's too hot to handle politically? n >> not in that sense. hii think there are some potentl reasons so let's not take this now and we just handled several cases on the same subject and we should see how that plays out but i don't think there are very often or's times where it's just like oh my god, were scared of doing this. if it is the kind of legal question that is the legal question that we should
