Democratic-appointed judges cause uproar after reversing retirement decisions

With President-elect Donald Trump‘s impending return to the White House, some Democratic-appointed judges are having second thoughts about retiring and allowing him to appoint successors.

Judge James Wynn of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, who was nominated to the position by then-President Barack Obama in 2010, rescinded his retirement notice over the weekend, becoming the third Democratic-appointed judge on a federal court to do so in the wake of Trump’s victory last month.
