The Senate has fewer and fewer mechanisms that create bipartisanship and bring people to an agreement. The blue slips are one of them, said Mr. Schumer in a press release on Wednesday.The Democrats are abusing the blue slips in a manner that is unprecedented to slow down and stop judicial appointments.
It is amazing to me that the Republicans have taken so long to take action to fill in the backlogs of needed appointments.
Schumer and company have brought this on themselves by abusing and misusing the blue slips for this bipartisan initiative.

They are called blue slips for a reason....to keep the blues in power.
I am moving to New York just so I can send Chuckie emails as a constituent.
