Statement from JCN spokeswoman Gayle Trotter:
“In nominating Patrick Bumatay to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, President Trump has continued to fulfill his promise of placing highly qualified people on the federal courts. His outstanding career as a lawyer and public servant includes clerking for Tenth Circuit Judge Timothy Tymkovich and serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California where he has argued cases before the Ninth Circuit. Mr. Bumatay served in various high-level positions at the Department of Justice for a decade under three different presidents. As a judge on the Ninth Circuit, Patrick will honor the Constitution and the rule of law.”
