Fantastic piece, David. It was probably too-in-the-weeds for a NYT piece, but isn't it still correct that a Republican senator pretty much has veto power over any appellate appointment allocated to his or her state?

In the past, yes, but today, not so much - the WH has been “pulling rank” a bit.

Replying to @DavidLat @BadgerPundit and
David, a little bit off topic, but today's hearing on Ryan Bounds brought up something interesting. In 2013-14 the Obama WH took an ID 9th Circuit seat and gave it to CA's John Owens. Could 1 of the 3 CA seats currently vacant go to Idaho to make up for what happened?

I doubt it will happen, with @SenFeinstein & @KamalaHarris both on Judiciary (& Feinstein as Ranking Member).
