Yes. While we have a majority.

And yes it is the right thing in principle. Why should a single Senator be given the full power of the whole Senate - to hold up a nomination by their own decision alone, with a “blue slip” or any other tradtion? They shouldn’t.

Yet in time we must pray we hold our majority, for without it we will regret this.

The good part for now is Trump is nominating a lot of younger judges, which will give us a longer time before they are replaced, which means we will have many election cycles before a lot of them retire.

The Dems would have changed this rule the first day of the session as soon as they took over the majority in the Senate. I hope it does not happen in my lifetime.
