9th Circuit gets another Trump-picked judge, after White House bypasses consultation with Dems

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed President Trump's nominee to be a judge on the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a party-line vote -- and, in a historic snub, the White House ignored the input of the judge's two Democratic home-state senators in the process.

Thank you, President Trump. May I have another.

I'm impressed with the turtle from KY starting to act like he actually has a pair.....

Give California hell and tRump judges!

The 9th circus needs a few more ringmasters.

The whole “blue slip” uproar really is dumb.

It’s literally just a courtesy to the home state senators. The nomination still goes to a vote, where they can be heard. Get rid of that nonsense!

This is also what wolfwood noted in another thread. Several new tRump appointees, and his speculation was that they selected the enbanc crew before they got there.

Who in their right mind would want to meet with Feinstein and Harris?

There's a ways to go to de-nut the Nutty Ninth.

Depends, one might be able to talk Feinstein into a heart attack by reciting the federalist papers.

Lots of vacancies to fill, mostly District Courts:

They don’t extend him any courtesy, why should he do it for them.

While it is a shame that this is where we’re at, politically, I totally agree.
