Ninth 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 Ninth 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.

The aggressive and unprecedented move to give the so-called "blue slip" consultation process the slip comes as the Trump administration seeks to erode left-wing dominance on the key appellate court, which Trump has called "disgraceful" and politically biased.

With a sprawling purview representing nine Western states, the appellate court has long been a thorn in the side of the Trump White House, with rulings against his travel ban policy and limits on funding to "sanctuary cities."

The Seattle attorney, Eric Miller, was confirmed 53-46. Miller was one the 51 federal judicial nominees left over from the previous Congress whom the White House re-nominated last month.

Well Dems, your smirky little mouths can just eat it. If you want to put this on someone, put it on your former leader Harry Reid.

He opened the door, now suffer the consequences.

This may end up being very big out here on the left coast.

If they can't split the 9th into two....stack it!

Maybe it's because the Rats have dug in against Trump, and refuse anything he wants?  There's no point in negotiating under those circumstances.  Rats have proved many times over they don't do so in good faith.
