Trump Defies California Senators With 9th Circuit Judge Nominations
sacbee.com ^ | October 11, 2018

After months of negotiations and delays, the White House is moving to fill California’s three vacancies on the influential 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — over the strenuous objections of the state’s two Democratic senators.

President Trump’s nominees for the appeals court — litigators Daniel Collins and Kenneth Lee and Assistant United States Attorney Patrick Bumatay — are all based in Southern California, are prominent members of the conservative Federalist Society, and have worked for Republican administrations.

None of the three were approved by Feinstein or Harris via a process known as a “blue slip,” the senators’ offices confirmed Thursday.

“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,” Feinstein said in a statement.

“Instead of working with our office to identify consensus nominees for the 9th Circuit, the White House continues to try to pack the courts with partisan judges who will blindly support the President’s agenda, instead of acting as an independent check on this Administration,” Lily Adams, Harris’ communications director, said in a statement.

Traditionally, presidents have deferred to home state senators when nominating federal judges, agreeing not to nominate people unless those senators returned their blue slip in support of the prospective judge.

President Trump and Senate Republicans, however, have done away with that custom, angering Democrats as they pushed forward controversial nominees for appeals court posts in Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Good. DiFi and Harris do not deserve any respect after what they did to Kavanaugh.

We don’t care about your input DiFi. We’re gonna shove all three of these nominees and more right down your throat. There’s nothing you can do about it.

Shove your blue slips.

So he is supposed to defer to you when you would not give him the same considerations?

All respect for a “blue slip” was thrown out the window with the vile character assassination of made up allegations against now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Isn’t Finkelstein one of the 89 Congresscritters who have dual Israeli-US citizenship?
I’m pretty sure the Founding Fathers made that illegal.
If Finkelstein doesn’t like the way we do things in the USofA, she can go shill for the Knesset.

“the White House is moving to fill California’s three vacancies on the influential 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals”

So, the 9th Circuit belongs to California? Or, just these three positions on the court belongs to California?

Does each state in the Circuit Courts jurisdiction get positions reserved for them?

>>The blue slip serves the important purpose of encouraging consultation between the White House and the Senate. The White House has an obligation to engage in good-faith consultation with home-state senators.<<

This “blue chip” practice is absolute nonsense because, for the sake of unnecessary “consultation” the President’s Constitutional authority to nominate Federal judges can be nullified by an adversarial Senator. NOTHING should be permitted to override the clear intent of the Constitution.

They delay, create drama and keep on delaying - what do they think our President should do?

What is;" Wait for the dems/leftists to be in control again, like the other R-Presidents", Alex.
