Sen. Feinstein says White House didn't consult on judicial nominees
The Washington Times ^ | October 11, 2018 | Alex Swoyer

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.

...saying one of the three doesn’t have any judicial experience.

Just like Elena Kagan.

Senator Feinstein, after what you did with Brett Kavanaugh there is ZERO chance he will call you for anything.

“saying one of the three doesn’t have any judicial experience.”

Kind of like Elena Kagan. Did the Senator have an issue with her?

Grassley has been ignoring blue slips since last November. After the stunt ChiSpiDiFi pulled with Kavanaugh, she should be persona non grata to Grassley & Trump. BTW, she had her knickers in a knot last year when Grassley was ignoring blue slips, too.

DiFi, at this point you and your blue slips are as about as effective as a fart in a wind storm.
