California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, just named the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, warned Wednesday that the group “will pay very close attention to proposed nominees” from President-elect Donald Trump.
In a statement on her election to the post, Feinstein described Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Antonin Scalia as “a moderate judge who should have been quickly confirmed.”
“After the unprecedented and disrespectful treatment” of Garland, she said, “the committee will pay very close attention to proposed nominees to ensure the fundamental constitutional rights of Americans are protected.”
