The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee blasted the White House Thursday for picking nominees for the West Coast’s appeals court without consulting her, and saying one of the three doesn’t have any judicial experience.
President Trump named a new slate of court picks Wednesday, including three judges to sit on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California objected, saying she had tried to consult with the White House but was rebuffed.
She said she would withhold her blue slip, in a signal that she doesn’t acquiesce to the picks. Blue slips are a Senate courtesy that, at times, has given home-state lawmakers a chance to express acceptance of a nominee.

I’m sure she consulted with the Chinese before she rebuffed the nominees.
"Voting rights" - prog speak for anyone [any lefist] can vote any number of times without verification of identity, citizenship or eligibility to vote in that particular time and place.
Winning!
If I was Trump I would give her the DC Cold shoulder for quite a while.
He should let things die down and, just when she thinks she is in the clear, spring an investigation into her Chinese spy driver.
“Elections have consequences.”
Barry O’.
Fineswine is a liar. She was consulted, she was not interested in productive discussion.
Harris refused to be consulted.
She is always confused. It is the way of progressive thought.
Good point.
How much “consulting” did 0vomit do when he made his picks? Not that it puts any obligation on Trump, but I’m just curious.
I will give preference to the Kmart blue light special judge over Feinstein’s blue slip anytime.
