The Senate confirmed another Trump pick to a federal circuit court, tilting balance of 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to GOP-appointed majority The 11th Circuit is now the third court to undergo such a transformation during Trump's presidency. With an 80-15 vote, the Senate confirmed Barbara Lagoa to the seat formerly held by Judge Stanley Marcus, a Clinton appointee who sat on the appeals court that handles cases from Florida, Georgia and Alabama since 1997. Lagoa, the first Cuban-American woman confirmed to the 11th Circuit, tilts that court, which was previously split between six Republican appointees and six Democratic appointees, to a GOP-appointed majority. Trump's nominees alone now hold five of the 12 seats on the 11th Circuit. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/confirmation-of-latest-trump-judicial-pick-tilts-balance-of-11th-circuit-court
