Senate confirms President Trump’s nominee to be a judge on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals 53-46 in a party-line vote The Senate confirms President Trump’s nominee Eric Miller to be a judge on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals 53-46 in a party-line vote. The Senate is poised this week to consider two more conservative nominees selected by President Trump to sit on the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — and the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee isn’t happy about it.
