Simple solution... let the nominee to move to California.. once confirmed, he can move back to Idaho.

Feinstein and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said the seat should go to a California judge because tradition holds that judgeships remain in the same stateAnyone from a state that has elected Feinstein and Boxer should automatically be disqualified from serving on the court.

Yet another good reason to split up the 9th Cir. Why should Feinstein have the right to block any nominee of a court that has jurisdiction outside of California?

Ummm....what stops the Senator from Idaho from doing the same thing when her buddy is picked?
To: proxy_user
I doubt Bush is going to pick someone that is good buddies with Feinstein.

I'll bet that they can find someone from California who she won't want on the court.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California says she will block the nomination of an Idaho judge to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals because she believes the seat should go to someone from California. Too bad, so sad.

That works. Just let the Senator(s) from little populated Idaho block all potential appointees made by mucho populated California's Senators, including to the military academy's if possible. Thats even steven.

Leave it vacany.Anthing that slows down the 9th circuit is good.

That's one notch too high on the difficulty scale for her to figure out.

So the parameters of the qualifications of a judge are not his legal expertise, but whether or not the judge is from a particular state.
Another fine mess the Dems are trying to create.

The perfect solution - find THE most conservative judge in California to fill the vacancy. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to move to Idaho after his appointment!
