1. Donald Trump:

   It's a disgrace when every case gets filed in the 9th Circuit, that's not law. Every case in the 9th Circuit we get beaten and then we end up having to go to Supreme Court like the travel ban and we won. Every case, no matter where it is, they file is practically, for all intents and purposes, they file it in what's called the 9th Circuit. This was an Obama judge. I'll tell you what, it's not going to happen like this anymore.

2. Achim Anscheidt:

   When you're sitting inside the car, yes it's a pure performance-driven interior, but something neat that's happening is the main display that is in front of you is a 180 degree virtual image that really is put together from the three cameras that you see put around the car. And that's the most important aspect of racing nowadays, especially when you look at a circuit like Le Mans, you need to see what's going on around the car, what's going on behind you in order to avoid over-taking accidents.

3. Elizabeth Slattery:

   Customarily, home-state senators have played a larger role in the selection of district court nominees, while appeals court judges are based in one state, they hear cases from all the states within their circuit. District court judges, on the other hand, hear only cases from the state where they sit. Thus, home-state senators’ opinions are more relevant for district court nominees.

4. Mark Meckler:

   We are very pleased that the 6th Circuit had smacked down the IRS and its thuggish DOJ lawyers.

5. Jennifer Pizer:

   I work with all people and I have worked with all people including those who identify as LGBT, i’m unable to promote all messages. And to take it a step further and to clarify, Colorado and the Tenth Circuit Court say they agree that I work with all people. So that’s certainly something that’s been clarified and agreed to.
