"According to the conservative Article III Project, which supports Trump’s nominees, all of the 15 judicial nominees waiting for a hearing would sit in courts in states with at least one Democratic senator with effective veto power over their advancement." njour.nl/s/709764?unloc…
[NOTE: The article cites @Article3Project's JudiciaryTracker.com.]
"More than half of the outstanding nominees hail from California. Sens. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Kamala Harris . . .
. . . the Democratic nominee for vice president, have signed off on California nominees in the past but are less likely to do so as the year goes on. Others hail from New York and New Mexico."
“The home-state senators have an absolute veto over district-court vacancies,” said Article III Project President Mike Davis [@mrddmia].
“And if these home-state senators want to hurt their constituents back home with mindless obstruction and Trump derangement syndrome, then they're going to have to answer to their constituents.” - A3P's Mike Davis (@mrddmia)
