Liberals are going nuts. They’re furious. All because President Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he’d do during his campaign and is reshaping the judiciary in the United States.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced the nominations of 17 of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees, including a Ninth Circuit pick who faced questions about his ties to California.
Daniel Bress received approval from the committee with a 12-10 vote, over the objections of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, both California Democrats, who said Bress does not have close enough ties to California to occupy one of the state’s seats on the Ninth Circuit. [Harris didn’t even bother to question him.]
“It’s not a debate about whether his views are within the legal mainstream or what his opinions are on various issues,” Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said Thursday. “This is a factual discussion about whether he is a California attorney and the facts are clear he is not.”
Specific seats on the federal appeals courts are generally reserved for specific states within the circuit, but the practice is a tradition and not a legal requirement.

The goal is judgement based upon Constitutional Law. What’s not to like.
More winning! An upcoming generation shift in the court system.
“over the objections of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, both California Democrats, who said Bress does not have close enough ties to California to occupy one of the state’s seats on the Ninth Circuit.”
I guess I read a different version of the Constitution. Might you have a copy of the version that says all 9th Circuit Judges have to be from California, or at least have close ties to California? I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the Internet.
Yeah. If and when our courts are more pro constitution, look for a Dem controlled congress to start impeaching. Something the feckless Rebublicans refuse to do.
The party we are trying to wrest away from the deep state is always playing defense.
California should not receive any favors at all. It should be cut out entirely from everything to the greatest extent possible, until the state stops waging war on the rest of us.
The funny thing is Bress is a native Californian, born and raised, who has also worked for a California law firm. The carpet-bagger slander arises from the fact that he went to school in Virginia and presently works in the beltway. So what? In smaller states, this is a nothing.
Can’t he just claim “sanctuary”?

There is, of course, nothing in the Constitution says that a judgee must be from a particular state.
But I am willing to give DiFi a break here. She is probably busy hiring Chines spies, and doesn’t have time to read the Constitution.
Doesn’t the 9th Circuit cover more than just California?
Wow. “Judge” and not “judgee” in my post #9. I don’t even know what a judgee is.
I am trying to cut down on my morning coffee. And the lack of focus is starting to show.
Excellent! I’m always happy to see more strict constructionist judges on the District Courts but it’s the Circuit Courts that really matter. Getting one more Strict Constructionist on the Ninth Circuit nudges it just a little closer to sanity.
I wouldn’t say generation shift. I’d say so far Trump’s appointees go a significant way toward countering all the damage Obama did to the courts. We haven’t yet repaired all the damage but the sudden violent leftward shift has been reversed. Thank goodness because if Hilary had gotten to make those appointments, the courts would have been completely wrecked and the constitution rendered meaningless.
“...because if Hilary had gotten to make those appointments, the courts would have been completely wrecked and the constitution rendered meaningless.”
A judgee us also sometimes referred to as a defendant. :-)
““over the objections of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, both California Democrats, who said Bress does not have close enough ties to California to occupy one of the state’s seats on the Ninth Circuit.””

Anyone these two disapprove of has my approval.
“Lock all yer windows and lock all yer doors ‘cuz here come da judge, here come da judge.”
The senator from New York, Ms William Clinton, would agree.
Not enough ties to California? The have better ties to America.
