President Donald Trump on Wednesday renominated six Californians for federal judgeships who had been left off a long list of renominations the administration forwarded to the Senate earlier this month, and made a new nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Among the nominees are two tapped for the Ninth Circuit: Daniel Collins of Munger, Tolles & Olson, and Kenneth Lee of Jenner & Block. Both California senators had opposed the White House’s California-based Ninth Circuit nominations, claiming that the administration hadn’t sufficiently consulted with them. Don McGahn, White House counsel at the time of the initial nominations, defended the process, but has since been replaced by Pat Cipollone.
