... because, she whines, President Trump is somehow not acting in good faith in regard to his judicial nominees to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals?! Dipsh!t Dianne was a sleaze-mongering, hateful lunatic during the Kavanaugh hearings ... burning bridges, anywhere and everywhere, to ash ... and then she expects President Trump to consider her point of view on subsequent judicial nominees?! Eat sh!t and die, Frankenfeinstein.
Feinstein: How dare Trump not act in good faith on my preferred 9th Circuit nominee

Gee, I wonder why the White House might be disinclined to consult on judicial appointments with Dianne Feinstein? After the demonstration of "good faith" from Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee over the last month, it's a marvel that Feinstein still expected to have any influence at all on appointments, especially to the Ninth Circuit. Last night, the White House released three new nominations, none of whom were on Feinstein's list: ...
Feinstein griped immediately that Donald Trump had ignored her professions of cooperation, and threatened to use a "blue slip" to block confirmation of the three appointees (via Twitchy): ...
Ahem. Feinstein's insistence on her "good faith" ignores her recent track record on Brett Kavanaugh. To recap, Feinstein failed to notify the committee chair of Christine Blasey Ford's accusation for weeks, even while Ford's attorneys arranged a polygraph and remained in contact with her office. She never notified Kavanaugh of the accusation - not during a private interview, not during a closed hearing, not during the public hearing, and not even in the post-hearing questionnaire. Someone from either her office or Rep. Anna Eshoo's office leaked it out to the press instead, turning an unsubstantiated and vague allegation into a McCarthyist circus in which Feinstein and her colleagues demanded that Kavanaugh prove himself innocent.
Who in their right mind would take advice from Feinstein on judicial appointments after that? And who in their right mind would expect cooperation after having authored that debacle?
As for the blue slip, Feinstein has to be joking. Judiciary chair Chuck Grassley made it clear last year that those are a courtesy, not a filibuster proxy: ...
After having watched the festival of bad-faith attacks on Kavanaugh over the last few weeks, I'd bet that Grassley is less inclined than ever to indulge blue-slip delay attempts. Senate Democrats, and especially Dianne Feinstein, burned off any good faith they might have received in their McCarthyist orgy. Feinstein and her fellow Democrats have reaped the Kavanaughnsenquences they sowed. ...
