The ALM Morning Minute reports:
On Again - The vote scheduled last week that would’ve paved the way for President Trump to gain his fifth and sixth judicial appointments to the Ninth Circuit is rescheduled for today. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the confirmations of Daniel Collins, a partner at Munger Tolles, and Kenneth Lee, a partner at Jenner & Block. California’s Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris have declined to return blue slips that indicate their sign-off. If confirmed by the full Senate, Collins and Lee will join four other Trump appointees to the Ninth Circuit, which has 29 judicial slots. The court currently has four vacancies.
[Update 4/4/19 -- Jenner, Munger Tolles Partners Inch Closer To 9th Circ. Seats]
