So basically the party which cheats at every election now are bitching at the same process which they used to do normally during the obamatard years..

The Democrats are abusing that “tradition” so they should be ignored.

Democrats should be ignored, except when they can be punished.

Traditions die hard during wartime.

He should do the same for the DOJO nominees being held up by republican Cory Gardner.

We might take those traditions more seriously if they had valid arguments as to why the nominee is bad. There is not a single nominee from Trump who will not be objected to by democrats no matter what. “Trump nominated him, I don’t like Trump, therefore he is bad” is not an argument.

Tyranny of the minority... this blue slip nonsense has to go. This is a federal court, not a state court.

Grassley told ‘em awhile ago about how “blue-slips” will be handled.

https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-speaks-history-blue-slip-courtesy-judicial-nominees

and they are shocked when he does what he said he was going to do ?


Thanks for posting the link. Senator Grassley clearly laid out the justification for his handling of blue slips.
