#2 Brasher will replace Edward Earl Carnes, a Bush appointee. After that there is one circuit vacancy on the 5th. That's it. There are many 70 and 80 year old Clinton appointees still on the federal circuit courts. They are no doubt holding out until after the election. If Trump wins, we will likely see another wave of retirements.

There are also 72 district court vacancies, but these are less exciting. The Senate is still honoring blue slip[s for district court nominees, which means blue state judges must be acceptable to Democratic Senators.

#3 Nope. Still not tired of winning.

Feels very good after decades of the stupid party (R) fucking shit up.

#5 Just for fun, current vacancies include:

NY – 8
CA – 16
IL – 5
NJ – 6
WA - 5

That's 40 (out of a total 72) in deep blue states. These will be hard to fill. Hard core ideologues would rather they stay empty than be filled by Trump.

#6 blue slips ~~are~~ were a courtesy. Feinstein and Harris were bypassed last round
