Trump Nominates 3 conservative judges for the 9th Circuit

Post by Bruenor »

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Feinstein and Harris received this message. I guess your actions during a confirmation hearing have consequences too..

President Trump is plowing ahead to fill three vacancies on the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, brushing aside Democratic resistance to nominate conservative judges.

Presidents traditionally work with senators from judicial nominees' home state -- in this case, California -- to put forward judicial picks. They often seek what's known as a "blue slip," or an opinion from those senators.

But in a snub to California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, the White House announced Wednesday that Trump had nominated Patrick Bumatay, Daniel Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee (all from the Golden State, and reportedly all members of the conservative Federalist Society) to the influential circuit.
Feinstein and Harris reacted angrily to the news of the latest appointments.
“I repeatedly told the White House I wanted to reach an agreement on a package of 9th Circuit nominees, but last night the White House moved forward without consulting me, picking controversial candidates from its initial list and another individual with no judicial experience who had not previously been suggested,” she said in a statement.
Not as familiar with the process of confirming justices on the court of appeals, who votes on these ?

Good. I hope he hurt their feelings and sent them to cry it out in a safe space.

Per the Constitution, Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges are all nominated by the President and confirmed by the US Senate.

The expect him to treat them with respect after what they pulled with Kavanaugh. Actions have consequences as well as elections.

Frankly, ANYTHING that ruffles the feathers of Feinstein and her ilk is a big plus in my book.

IMHO - the 9th Circuit Court has been the stench hovering over the septic tank that is the left (west) coast for decades.

Note: I had to clean up what I really wanted to say.
