Trump appointments remaking the 9th Circuit

Article here. That would be a great relief to those of us who are in it. Though it would make the traditional petition for cert on gun issues (cite the 5th Circuit - 9th Circuit split) moot.
This says it all:
"...serving as... an icon of judicial activism to those on the left... Carter was responsible for 15 total appointees to the court... And Carter didn’t just choose liberal judges; he installed some of the most liberal judges to ever serve on an appellate federal court... These were men who 'approached the judicial role as one where the job was not merely to apply the law as written by the legislature, but also to help balance economic and power disparities in the legal process...'”
What could possibly go wrong?
