The White House on Wednesday announced a trio of nominees to fill vacancies on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a move that comes after conservatives warned that the White House Counsel’s Office was attempting to cut a deal with California’s Democratic senators over picks to the court.
President Trump intends to nominate Daniel Bress, Daniel Collins, and Kenneth Lee to the San Francisco-based appeals court, considered to be the country’s most liberal, the White House announced.
Collins and Lee were tapped to fill vacancies on the 9th Circuit last year, but their nominations were returned at the end of the last Congress. Bress, meanwhile, was on the White House’s initial list of candidates for the appeals court.
The president also plans to nominate four others to federal district courts in California, including Patrick Bumatay, whom Trump nominated to the 9th Circuit last year, the White House said.
“We are relieved to see that the White House has decided to move forward with a list of extraordinarily qualified nominees,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network.So there was a lot of upset conservatives when it was reported that certain people in the Administration that were working to cut a deal with Kamala Harris and Diane Feinstein to fill the vacancies with less conservative Justices. Trump obviously reacted to this criticism.
Harris and Feinstein put out a statement:
This is a big deal, as the balance of the 9th circuit court would now narrow to 16 Democratic nominated and 13 Republican nominated. That being said, the 13 Republican nominated Judges were not exactly Scalia types... as previous Republican Presidents have been limited by blue slips and the requirement to cut deals.
Look, it's no secret that when liberals go judge shopping for a particular case, that the search is going to start and stop in the 9th circuit. It's not just a coincidence that most every controversial case that has come up during the Trump administration has gone through a District Judge in Hawaii, San Francisco, or other parts of the West Coast.
If the liberals didn't have a sure fire circuit of "resistance" they would have to rely on the rule of law. Certainly, this is why Harris, Feinstein and other liberals are so upset that Trump is daring to nominate three conservatives to their politically motivated legal backstop.

the dogma of asshattery and hackery lives strongly within them...
After what they did to Kavenaugh I couldn't give a shit how they feel about it.
In a Thursday morning tweetstorm, the president told Republican negotiators they are “wasting their time” because Democrats do not plan on providing money for a wall. He also falsely declared that the border wall is already being built and made the case that the high murder rate in Mexico has spurred migration to the United States.
“Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL. I’ve got you covered,” Trump tweeted. “Wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!”
Will Trump nominate another rapist?

this is why i consider liberals to be intellectually inferior to the rest of us.
no circuit court has been overturned by the USSC more than the 9th. that liberals judge shop exclusively at the 9th circuit tells me that they're imbeciles.
Will Trump nominate another rapist?
Will the liberal MSM ruin the stellar reputation of another person who had never in his life been accused of anything (until he became nominated to the high court)?
Another? Did he nominate bill Clinton?
Debate with Hillary video out with trump predicting the barbaric day of birth abortion laws we're seeing in NY and va.
Rat - sometimes the idea is to win a news cycle.
Think of how many people were opposed to the travel ban, and how many used the court decisions of those select few judges to "affirm" the belief that it was a racist discriminatory action.
The fact that the USSC overruled them, ultimately never undoes the damage already done by those previous rulings.
Ultimately they get to delay, politicize, and legitimize their arguments when an idiot man in a robe is willing to quote the Washington Post, to argue that the Department of Homeland Security is wrong, and that he (as a District Judge) has the authority to put a stop to what the DHS want's done (in the name of national security).

Funny how trump has flip flopped on abortion depending on who he was trying to be.....such a douche, 24/7
The fact that the USSC overruled them,
After 6 rewrites to get it through the courts....practice makes perfect....idiot.

i can't imagine him nominating bill clinton for anything, alky.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Using some of his harshest rhetoric in recent memory, President Donald J. Trump came out strongly against intelligence on Wednesday morning.
“I’ve listened to these people with so-called intelligence go on and on, and, quite frankly, it’s a waste of time,” he said. “I know a lot more than people with intelligence do.”
Trump added that he has stopped receiving intelligence briefings at the White House, arguing, “I can do my job without any intelligence whatsoever.”
He said that he has chosen, instead, to seek advice from his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and from his elder children, Ivanka, Eric, and Donald, Jr. “You won’t find a trace of intelligence in anything they say,” he boasted.
At a briefing for the White House press corps, the President’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, denied that Trump’s war on intelligence was a new development. “Intelligence has never played a role in Donald Trump’s life,” she said.

the alky certainly fell for it. he was calling it a moose-limb ban around here just the other day. despite the fact that there were several non moose-limb countries on the banned list.
Scott would support the nominee of another rapist to The Supreme Court if Trump nominates him.

it's already begun with amy coney barrett. she's *GASP* a catholic. and a joo -feinstein, and a garden variety piece of shit - harris, and a fucking looney toons assclown - crazie mazie, already went after her with a constitutionally prohibited religious test.
there are no depths to which the left will not sink to achieve their objective.
I am not surprised that our esteemed host has decided to comment on the repudiation of the entire intelligence service and security departments by the President who actually said, is "they should go back to school". ISIS is not defeated.
His entire foriegn policy is Vladimir Putin's policy.
The Birther Presidential candidate would not hesitate to sink to the depths of political sewer system.
George H.W. Bush got the nomination for vice President by reversing his stance on abortion rights.
alky,
why would any rational, thinking individual believe what was said at a very PUBLIC hearing from our intelligence resources?
in every one of those hearings going back at least as long as my time on this earth i've dismissed what was testified to at a rate of 100%. why would we publicly tell our enemies what we presume to know about them and their capabilities?
that's something so fucking stupid only an imbecile like 0linsky would do so, like telling our adversaries when we intend to leave a particular battlefield.
critical thinking is not your strong suit alky.
you liberals are like a kitten chasing a piece of string or a laser pointer. you're completely infatuated with it because the folks toying with you told you to be.
When one negotiates. One goes in with the other side in good faith. Hopefully the Democrats in the committee act in good faith.

this is an outright lie.
bush's position on abortion was much more complex and nuanced than that.

“It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement,” Trump said in 2018.
But US intelligence officials told the Senate on Tuesday that Iran did not appear to be actively seeking nuclear weapons.
“Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons-development activities we judge necessary to produce a nuclear device,” said Daniel Coats, the director of national intelligence.
“At the moment technically they are in compliance” with deal, Central Intelligence Agency director Gina Haspel later added.
He appointed every single person who testified yesterday in the Senate Intelligence committee hearing.
He's the worst President ever elected.
Roger - just curious, but you do realize that Andy Borowitz is a comedian, not a reporter. He writes funny stories (not true stories) sort of like the Onion.
Unless you actually believe that on top of Sanders telling reporters that Intelligence is not part of Trump's life, that Roger Stone replaced his Nixon tatoo with a Mueller tattoo, that Trump was upset because he thought the shut down would shutdown the FBI, and the idea that the Democrats agreed to a wall under the stipulation that Trump would leave the country (and the wall would then prevent him from getting back in).
Boring Alky
Na they're just enriching uranium for the hell of it.
Lol@Alky.
He was tricked into voting for Trump.

andy borowitz is to political comedy what air america was to political talk radio.
Former CEO Schultz Defends the American dream and Capitalism. Is against Democrat transformation to the Socialist Party.
"Schultz witnessed failure early, but he did not let that define him.
"I started with nothing and I made it in America because of the aspiration, the magnetism, and the spirit of our country," he declared. "I’ve always believed in the promise of the country. What is the promise of the country? What it is is regardless of your station in life, the color of your skin, your gender, your sexual orientation, whatever it might be, that everyone should have a chance in America."

Largest fentanyl bust in history. Border Patrol seized enough fentanyl to kill 57 MILLION people.
That’s more than the population of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa. COMBINED.
We have a crisis on our southern border.
Imagine if this was in the hands of a terrorist and introduced upstream into our food or water supply.
Unbelievable that Democrats have made a line in the sand instead of a wall.
Bingo
Unbelievable that Democrats have made a line in the sand instead of a wall.
not at all. once you accept the fact that democrats ALWAYS put party before country, it makes perfect sense.
and if some terrorists did manage to put that fentanyl into the water supply, democrats would be cool with it. they would just consider it postpartum abortion on a grand scale.
the only death that a democrat would ever oppose is the death of a government program.
Largest fentanyl bust in history.
in Nogales, Arizona, at the port of entry, CBP officers stopped a tractor-trailer crossing
Funny how a wall would not have done a thing to stop this....only good police work at a port of entry....detected and made the bust....just what the D's have been saying all along while you assholes fellate trump and his worthless wall...
So lo iq commie is fine with all the fentanyl that comes through as long as it is not through a port of entry. And nobody knows where the drugs that aren't caught come through. But lots of people are crossing at other than points of entry. And they have been caught carrying drugs. You see news only report what was caught, Not what wasn't.
I didn't think lo iq could get any lower iq.
I was wrong.
Funny how a wall would not have done a thing to stop this....only good police work at a port of entry...
Funny thing is that there was a wall on either side of the port of entry that forced the truck into an inspection line.
As for the miles and miles of open border without walls? Nobody knows how much drugs are flowing in since nobody is monitoring it.
