The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee blasted the White House Thursday for picking nominees for the West Coasts appeals court without consulting her, and saying one of the three doesnt 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 doesnt 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.

Not only do Sen. Grassley and President Trump remember so do Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and millions of Voting Americans. We do not like last minute unproven smears. Sen. Feinstein you dealt from the bottom of the deck.

It is a courtesy shown to civilized opponents. Feinswein isn’t.

No you wouldn’t. The heir apparent for that Senate seat is Socialist/Communist Kevin De Leon. He makes ChiFi look positively big C Conservative. Virtually all of California’s crazy gun control laws emanated from his office....-

DiFi lost her privilege of being consulted. There is no requirement for it in the Constitution, it is mere traditional courtesy.
But traditional courtesy should not be expected to be extended to the ringleader of a rape hoax criminal conspiracy.

Diane, what are you qualified to do? Honestly? You have a bachelors degree in history. Do you really think that your background, and your degree, give you some special insights that qualify you to determine how the rest of us should live?

Tough chit DiFi. We’re gonna ram ‘em down your throat.
