California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/senate) and Kamala Harris (https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/kamala-harris) lashed out at the White House after President Trump, under pressure from conservative activists, re-nominated two conservative California judges to the 9th Circuit federal appeals court over their opposition.
“We are deeply disappointed that the White House has chosen to re-nominate Daniel Collins and Kenneth Lee to the 9th Circuit,” Feinstein and Harris said in a joint statement late Wednesday. “We made clear our opposition to these individuals and told the White House we wanted to work together to come to consensus on a new package of nominees.”


The White House announced the nomination of Collins and Lee, among other judicial designees. (https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/judiciary) Daniel A. Bress was also nominated to the 9th Circuit.
The nomination of Collins and Lee bypasses the traditional "blue-slip" process in which the senators of the home state of the nominee give their consent to the pick.
