After a day of attacks from commentators on the right, the White House announced Wednesday night that it planned to nominate three judges for the California seats on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

The left-leaning 9th Circuit has been a frequent target of President Donald Trump, but when the White House last week announced its plans to renominate dozens of judges who had not received a hearing during the last Congress, those who had been previously nominated for the 9th Circuit weren't on the list.

Carrie Severino of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network referenced Feinstein and California's other US senator, Democrat Kamala Harris, in a morning tweet: "why on earth would the WH agree to tarnish its sterling legacy of circuit court judges &abandon the opportunity to improve the notorious 9th Cir to help Sens (and a would-be POTUS challenger) who are shafting him every chance they get?"

In a release Wednesday evening, the White House press office announced that Daniel P. Collins, Kenneth Kiyul Lee and Daniel A. Bress had been nominated for the 9th Circuit. But Patrick Bumatay, who had been slated for the 9th Circuit last time around, was listed to serve as a judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of California, instead of the 9th Circuit.

1. Everyone of his justices should be annulled................every last one

I do not think someone should be able to have justices placed on the bench if he has become a unindicted implicated individual 1 in crime, ie................by Michael Cohen.....................

2. Collins and Lee were initially nominated last year

But because the nominations weren't acted upon before the 115th Congress adjourned, the nominations had to be re-submitted. Bress is a new nominee. Both Bress and Collins are former Scalia clerks.


There currently are 41 Judges on the 9th Circuit, including 18 "Senior" Status Judges.
Of the 23 active judges, five were nominated by Bush, two by Trump, nine by Bill Clinton, and seven by Barack Obama.
Of the Senior status judges, two were nominated by Nixon (!), four by Carter, three by Reagan, four by Bush, and five by Clinton.
