Dianne Feinstein: Senate panel is moving too quickly to approve Trump's judges

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., complained Thursday that the Senate Judiciary Committee is working more quickly to approve President Trump’s judicial nominees, and worked much more slowly to approve President Barack Obama’s nominees.

Feinstein, the committee’s top Democrat, said she is worried about the committee’s diminishing role because of the “greatly sped up and hurried pace of considering judicial nominees.” She specifically complained about the committee’s work in November to advance five federal appeals court nominees, under Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s leadership.
