#2 Look on the bright side. Had Clinton won, all the Circuit Courts would have been ineluctably left-wing for the next quarter century. Trump still has seventeen nominations to go.

#3 Trump still has seventeen nominations to go.

Assuming no more of the current judges retire or die in the next six years.

#4 Additional data points:

There are 6 circuit judges awaiting confirmation (two on the 2nd and four on the 9th).
There are 3 more vacancies without nominees (3rd, 5th and 9th circuits).
There is one announced future vacancy on the 2nd.

That's it. There will, of course, be additional vacancies but for now that's all the action on the appeals courts. The next stage of this drama will be filling the 129 vacancies on district courts -- which is where the proposed rule change will be helpful.

#5 Glad they are getting things done this year. The 2020 election year is going to be a circus.

Who represent relevant parties
Will cushion me banc
Or be walkin' the plank,
And addresss me as, "Cap'n," me hearties!
