      After the longest week of his presidency in recent months, Trump starts off the week by offering up a new set of judicial nominees, including Allison Jones Rushing for the 4th Circuit and Magistrate Judge Bridget Shelton Bade for the 9th Circuit.pic.twitter.com/dn2c1Rrfnd

      Bade clerked for Judge Edith Jones. She was on the list of possible names for the vacancy submitted by McCain and Flake last year.

      Really interesting read from 13 months ago from @DavidLat about this 9th Circuit vacancy, in light of today's announcement —> https://abovethelaw.com/2017/07/circuit-court-nominees-in-the-trump-administration-the-latest-news-and-rumor-part-2/?rf=1 …pic.twitter.com/LJtxcFqium

      Chris Geidner Retweeted Kannon Shanmugam

      Rushing, Trump's pick for a 4th Circuit vacancy, clerked for Justice Thomas and is currently a partner at Williams & Connolly, where she regularly works with @KannonShanmugam.https://twitter.com/KannonShanmugam/status/1034177796707418112 …

      Chris Geidner added,

      This is a happy and proud day for all of us who work with Allison Rushing. Allison is a brilliant lawyer--one of the great talents of her generation, with experience beyond her years. And she is a person of exceptional class and integrity. Our loss will be the country’s gain.

      Moving quickly, Trump sent the appeals court nominations of Rushing and Bade to the Senate immediately. In contrast, the two district court nominees, and the other two judicial nominees (Tax Court and Court of Military Commissions Review), were not sent to the Senate today.pic.twitter.com/NW57Pp7u7Z

          The White House hasn't even formally nominated the Western District of Washington nominees it announced more than a month ago in the last wave.

          Yeah, the lag from nominees getting to the Senate from “intent to nominate” announcements is a bit of a thing with this White House.

          A few days is one thing. But 6 weeks? Can Trump not even sign a few pieces of paper?

          I don't think it's that. I think it's more likely wanting to make announcements, but not necessarily being ready to send the name to the Senate.

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          But what's the hold up? Is it something along the lines of the WH not wanting the Judiciary Committee to process those specific nominees?
