Feinstein went on: "Before President Trump took office, the blue slip had been a Senate practice for nearly one century. And during the past 100 years, before this presidency, the Senate confirmed only five judges with only one blue slip, and the last one was in 1989 – and in 100 years the Senate had never confirmed a judge without two blue slips."

Blue slips are utter bullshite, another contrived "rule" the Senate made up to usurp another branch's power.

Don’t worry Feinstein, you’ll be dead soon and won’t have to worry about it.

presidential election losses were accepted with grace. Don't be preaching to me. You're still on the hook with me for the Christine Ford debacle that you fricked up like some kind of political novice would have.

Basically is an endorsement of the local representatives and senators of the district the judge will be appointed.

So you have republican judges being appointed in democrat strongholds. The horror.

i believe they're still honoring the blue slip for district judges, just not the appellate court

The need to appoint judges who honor the constitution, not try to advocate from the bench.

from the story the quote in OP came from:

quote:

"As Senator Harris and I have made clear, we’ve been willing to work from the start with this president to choose consensus, mainstream nominees to the 9th Circuit,"

mainstream

When the majority senate appoints a senator in a particular jurisdiction, they have to get the senators in that area (in this case Feinstein and Harris for the 9th circuit) to give informal approval of the nomination before the person is submitted.

9th circuit is a liberal sack of shite and Trump has been filling spots with real judges. If you see the nomination process, every friggin dem votes against them in the senate. Tells you it must be a good pick.

And yes per the previous poster, given what Feinstein did with Kavanaugh her statement is "real rich". Bitch.

That's what Trump has gotten, so what is her problem.

Is she saying she thinks the Constitution is extremist?

Which is why the Kunt Coulter needs to keep her damn mouth shut.

Trump Is singlehandedly saving this country via his judicial picks.

There is nothing that he can propose that the Dems in Congress will go along with.

Hence stack the courts.

STFU Coulter

Boo fricking hoo.

A GOP president shouldn't be bound to the appointment agreeable to the Senators from the opposition party.

And the same goes if a Dem were president.

I wouldn't like it, but I couldn't legitimately bitch about it.
