Connecticut’s Judge Christopher Droney to retire, creating vacancy for President Trump to fill on Second Circuit Court of Appeals

"Federal appeals Judge Christopher F. Droney disclosed Monday that he is retiring from active judicial service, a decision certain to focus attention on how President Trump, who has vowed to remake the federal judiciary, chooses a lawyer from Connecticut to fill a vacancy on one of the nation’s most influential courts."

This creates the fourth vacancy in the circuit, enough to allow President Donald John Trump to flip the court from liberal to conservative.
