Blumenthal Says He’ll Put Senate Hold on Trump Judicial Nominees
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) plans to obstruct Donald Trump’s judicial nominations as progressive groups push Democrats to hinder the president’s plans to further reshape the bench with young conservatives.
Blumenthal said that he’s “committed to working with my colleagues on putting a hold on all” of Trump’s court picks and Justice Department selections. His remarks came during a press conference on Tuesday hosted by advocacy group Demand Justice.
Left-leaning judicial advocacy organizations have urged Senate Democrats to use every procedural tool available to oppose Trump’s judicial appointments drive, which is just getting under way with the first batch of intended circuit and district picks now announced.
