President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he is nominating U.S. Magistrate Judge Bridget Shelton Bade of the District of Arizona to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Bade has long been among the White House favorites to fill the seat left vacant when Judge Barry Silverman, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, took senior status in October 2016.
Since 2012 Bade has served as a magistrate judge in Phoenix. She previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the District of Arizona. Prior to her time as a prosecutor, she was special counsel in the Phoenix office of Steptoe & Johnson LLP and a shareholder at Beshears Wallwork Bellamy, where she handled civil litigation including environmental, intellectual property and class action matters.
Bade's appointment comes in Trump's 17th “wave” of nominations. The administration's steady effort to reshape the Ninth Circuit hit a snag earlier this summer. Although former Hawaii Attorney General Mark Bennett breezed through the Senate 72-27 with the backing of his state's Democratic senators, Trump withdrew his first Ninth Circuit nominee, Oregon federal prosecutor Ryan Bounds, after it became apparent that he didn't have the votes for confirmation.
The court currently has seven vacancies with Judge N. Randy Smith, who sits in Idaho, taking senior status earlier this month.
