Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) expressed her displeasure about the White House’s push to consider two new nominees for the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Nominees Ken Lee and Dan Collins were reportedly picked by the Trump administration without input from Feinstein or Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.). In the past, the White House has sought to obtain a so-called “blue slip” of approval from home-state senators before the nominations.
