Trump is making changes for generations, bringing back actual Constitutional judges, while Democrats are concentrated on impeachment. This will have longer effect.

I’m not a religious man, but what has happened to the makeup of the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit over the past few years could drive me to prayerful gratitude. Indeed, many have believed for years that nothing short of divine intervention — or disbanding the 9th Circuit altogether — could save us from this anti-constitutional monstrosity with such a dismal track record on appeal at the Supreme Court.
Long dominated by liberal justices appointed by presidents from the Democratic Party, the 9th Circuit has not exactly enjoyed a lot of success when their decisions get appealed to the Supreme Court. As of 2018, the Supreme Court had overturned an eye-popping 115 cases in the previous decade referred from the 9th Circuit, for a dismal 76 percent overturn rate. Covering nine western states along with the territorial courts of Guam and North Mariana Islands, the 9th Circuit handles a massive caseload and refers three times the number of cases to SCOTUS as the next most active court.
During the Trump administration, however, the 9th Circuit has undergone a massive overhaul. The 9th Circuit includes 13 district courts, presided over by a total of 112 judges. The Circuit Court of Appeals, in turn, has 29 justices, meaning that 15 constitute a majority. As of November, President Trump had appointed eight new justices to vacancies on the Circuit Court.
