Hooker Harris and Feinstein had no say!

Trump 9th Circuit Court nominee confirmed over Democrats' objections

Brushing aside Hooker Harris’s complaints, Senate Republicans on Tuesday approved a new judge for the federal appeals court with jurisdiction over California, further narrowing Democrats’ edge on the famously liberal court....

Hooker Harris and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California’s two Democratic senators, had complained that Mr. Bress was a Washington, D.C., lawyer who wouldn’t represent California’s interests on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. They said the seat he was filling should go to a Californian....

Mr. Bress is the seventh Trump-appointed judge to win confirmation to the 9th Circuit.

Two more conservative appointments to the 9th circuit and job done. Winning!

It will be interesting.

Judges are not necessarily bound by ideology from one side or another.

The recent decisions in which Roberts/Kavanaugh joined to liberal judge in forming majority decisions illustrates. that.

Expecting ideology to trump legal precedent in nominations is a risky business.

True, but it’s better than appointing a die hard liberal judge. Souter is probably the biggest disappointment in the SCOTUS.

I love how they say that he wouldn't represent California's interests, conveniently forgetting that the 9th circuit represents 8 other states and a few territories.
