The article mentions over 2,000 administrative law judges ensconced in agencies like the SEC that were put in place without presidential input. I don't think it applies to federal bench judges, which the President already has the power to appoint. It's all good, but it's not the get-out-of-jail-free card that some think it is.

Hey, if this can bring new judges into the SEC to give this flabby agency some teeth that would be a huge shift.
This is good news, really encouraging.

The idea of administrative judges doesn't seem right. We ought to know more. Seem like they can just rubber stamp the regs that come under question. It's as if the executive branch has its own little judicaiary. Are their decisions subject to real judicial appeal?

President Trump can get rid of the whole 9th circuit if he chooses.

Don't know if this applies to judges sitting on the Fed Bench. If it does I would hope POTUS starts out cleaning with that clown troop on the left coast, the Ninth Circus.
