Trump Nominates Openly Gay Lawyer to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

(CNSNews.com) -- President Donald J. Trump recently nominated the openly gay lawyer Patrick J. Bumatay to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Curcuit, historically a liberal legal redoubt. The Ninth Circuit covers federal appeals for Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and a few other districts.

Bumatay, 40, currently serves as assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California, where he focuses primarily on prosecuting drug crimes.

"Patrick would make an excellent addition to the court," Gregory Angelo, president of Log Cabin Republicans, told The Blade, a homosexual newspaper. "The historic nature of his nomination as an openly gay man adds an additional layer of prestige to what by all counts is an exceptional career in law."

I do not see a huge problem with nominating a qualified, professional, jurist
regardless of personal status.

The 9th has been heavily liberal for years; yet they are supposed to be
apolitical - for which a lot of them have failed to recognize.
