how many Trump appointments @ the 11th?
Six of the eleven. Clarence Thomas is also the circuit justice for the 11th.
In DT's 4yrs he appointed 30% of the federal bench. A greater pace than Obama in his 8 but 1 short of beating Obama's total.
Judge Dearie has a good reputation which is a silver lining to this cloud. So far the major criticism has been suspicions as to why team trump chose him.
