Ideological Warfare Rages on Federal Appeals Courts Dominated by Republican Appointees - washingtonpost.com

Ideological Warfare Rages on Federal Appeals Courts Dominated by Republican Appointees - washingtonpost.com: "Although the impact of Bush's judicial appointments is most often noticed at the Supreme Court, it has played out much more frequently and more importantly here and in the nation's 12 other appellate courts, where his appointees and their liberal counterparts are waging often-bitter ideological battles. After Bush's eight years in office, Republican-appointed majorities firmly control the outcomes in 10 of these courts, compared with seven after President Bill Clinton's tenure. They also now share equal representation with Democratic appointees on two additional courts."

Like there was no ideological warfare when those same courts were controlled by Clinton appointees? Sure.
