This is the Huffington Post article; but, there are plenty of pieces available through Google. It's just that his one includes a copy of the Judge's letter.

For now, no. The old "blue slip" protocol has been held in abeyance (I guess that sounds better than Rs telling Ds 'screw you') while the President and Senators Grassley and McConnell do their thing. Presidents get the credit, but McConnell and the Federalist Society have had tremendous influence on the courts, including SCOTUS.

However, note that there are only six judges for the Eastern District; which is why 2 retiring would reduce the bench by 1/3. It's part of why some 'experts' have been recommending a dividing/split or expansion of the Ninth Circuit. Insofar as if he'll take advantage, that comes down to a piece of what I quoted in the OP... Quote:
Here is one case example of what he's referring to; it's the first thing you read in the case. Now, if THAT came from O'Neill, someone Boxer and Feinstein likely had input for, what might result from a recommendation by Harris? In other words, the 'overwhelming' case load and the problems created by it are a long-standing issue for O'Neill. If the Ninth Circuit needs to be 'expanded/divided,' would you rather have the Trump Administration do it, with McConnell in charge of the Senate, or wait for the next Democrat-controlled Senate and Democrat President? |
