Feinstein fumes as Trump administration pushes forward with 9th Circuit nominees
Fox News ^ | March 31, 2019 | Gregg Re

Posted on 03/31/2019 9:12:49 AM PDT by Innovative

The Senate is poised this week to consider two more conservative nominees selected by President Trump to sit on the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals -- and the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee isn't happy about it.

That's because the nominees, Ken Lee and Dan Collins, were picked without any input from either Dianne Feinstein or Kamala Harris, California's two Democrat senators. Traditionally, the White House seeks to obtain a so-called "blue slip," or approval, from a judicial nominee's two home-state senators before pressing on with their nominations.

But the Trump administration, which has successfully nominated several conservative judges to the 9th Circuit already, has pointedly disregarded that process as it continues its push to transform the appellate court that the president repeatedly has derided as hopelessly biased and "disgraceful."

If Feinstein doesn’t like it, it must be good.

This is a gold standard for our side:

If Feinstein doesn’t like it, it must be good.

May she keep fuming until she leaves the $inate.

This is VERY SIMPLE.

These judges are making decisions that affect a LOT MORE than just California, the decisions affect the ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Therefore the ENTIRE COUNTRY, meaning the full body of the Senate, should get to determine whether they should be on that bench.

Now, if their decisions were limited to only their jurisdiction, then yes, the blue slips might make some sense - but Trump is being kneecapped, AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, by what these judges are doing.

So, sorry Wifi, you lose here.

Why isn’t she fuming over crazy Uncle Joe fondling women? It was her favorite subject during the Kavanaugh hearings.

More good news on judges.

Also, changing the process the speed the approval of District Court judges in the Senate (reducing 30 hours after cloture down to 2) comes up for a vote this coming week.

Republicans are expected to change the rule anyway (the “nuclear option”), after it (as expected) fails to receive a super majority.

Not only will this greatly speed up the appointment of judges, but also a lot of high level positions within the bureaucracy of the Departments and Agencies of the Government, which Democrats have been slow-rolling for two years, in an unprecedented campaign of obstruction.

The blue slip tradition is a tradition, until it isn't. Now, it isn't. Cry in your Wheaties, Dianne and Karmy.

For what possible reason would the President ask either of those fools for input on anything? Get serious!
