The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced the nominations of seven candidates to serve as federal judges on district courts across New York State.

For the Ninth Circuit, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved Daniel Bress’ nomination in a party line vote setting the stage for a full Senate vote.

California’s Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, both members of the Judiciary Committee, came out publicly against the nomination in January in a joint statement saying that Bress was based in Washington, D.C.

Ahead of the committee vote Thursday, Feinstein said she could not support Bress’s nomination, because he is a not a California attorney and the seat is based in California. She said Kirkland & Ellis listed him as a lawyer practicing in San Francisco only after his nomination, and that the land he owns in California is one share of a family business. The senator also said that more than half of the 26 cases he’s been involved with in California courts were on behalf of the same two clients.

The ninth circuit encompasses about 11 western states. Does Feinstein think we’re stupid?

[marajade]

Correction: 9 states.

[hsmomx3]

No, she’s clearly delirious!

[marajade]

So what if the physical court building is in SF. The Ninth Circuit represents all nine western states. As long as he is licensed in one of the nine states who gives a flip?

[ronnie raygun]

I think we should clear this with her driver

[yuleeyahoo]

Does Feinstein think we’re stupid?

Why not? The majority of her voters are.

[hsmomx3]

It only matters to the leftists because it will disrupt their immigration plans.

[marajade]

Well to be fair. Feinstein really was the only choice.

[hoosiermama]

No respectable conservative would want HER as their representative. The. FEELING would be mutual.

That's the real reason the Rat Feinstein is against this judge.

Summer blowout sale coming?

4 Senate work weeks left before August-Labor Day recess. 4 day ripening (lazy filibuster) period for each Senator floor vote means two weeks for District judge and bureaucracy appointments.

Judiciary Committee processing lots of judges. District judges still honor the blue slip for approval. NY, IL, MD, RI, NM, MI judges in approval pipeline. That is what rats want. We get the two new Senators.

Let’s make a deal. No Lucy rug pull either. Do both Senators first.

It would be a little odd to appoint a “carpet-bagger,” someone not from ANYWHERE within the Ninth Circuit. But Bress is from California; he only moved to the DC/Virginia area to study law.

[dangus]

... and he has worked in San Francisco.

ChiFi and Willie Brown’s whore got repudiated by Graham on lack of law experience on the ground in their failed 3rd world state.

In article yesterday,

“Harris said she “strongly” opposes the nomination and thinks “this process is flawed.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the committee chairman, said Republican support for Bress doesn’t mark a major break from Senate protocols. He said other judges had been approved for federal courts in states where they had not lived for years.

Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, Graham noted, was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, whose jurisdiction includes Colorado.

Gorsuch spent his childhood in Colorado but his family moved to Washington, D.C., when he was a teenager and he never moved back to the state.

Both of Colorado’s senators, including one Democrat, supported Gorsuch during the nomination process, however.”
