Wyden and Merkley tried to make the excuse that the WH didn't consult with them on the Ryan Bounds nomination, thus not returning the blue slips.

WH counsel says not true and it looks like the two senators want a RINO nominated.

Why didn’t the republicans do this all throughout the Obama administration?!

Where is Harry Reid decrying the obstructionism now?

Why isn’t McConnell spewing Reid’s words back at the democrat party .

Why doesn’t the GOP act like it has a pair?!

Wheres get along McCain attacking the Democrats for destroying the decorum of the Senate?!

Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, both Democrats, want U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez, a Republican,

A Cheap Labor Express Republican, no doubt.

Because most of them are undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.

Amen.

This nomination of Ryan Bounds is where McConnell and Grassley have the chance shove this crud down the Democrats throats, I believe Grassley is ready to.

We’ll see about McConnell.

Strange fact:
The term “vetted” comes from horse racing.
“Has the horse been sent to a veterinarian for examination?”
“No, he has not been vetted.”

Flake will probably support the ‘RAT obstruction also IF NEEDED. If Flake is not needed to obstruct, he won’t and will pretend to have wanted him.

That’s how their game is played.

Let’s see how “quick” the RINO leadership is to show their loyalty to Trump and the Republican base! I fear the worse but will love to be pleasantly surprised. Anyhow, Trump should NOT GIVE AN INCH on this and other conservative judicial nominees.

For the vote. Trump needs to call on McConnell to get the senate in order, vote his nominees or step aside.

Note to Trump:

1. Pull Assistant DA Bounds nomination for now. 2. Reassign him to an Assistant DA position in Arizona but meanwhile nominate no one else. 3. Then once he moves and takes his mew position nominate him again for the same federal judge position, from Arizona. I have a feeling neither Flake nor McCain will blue slip him. They have enough GOP strikes against them already.

I get this image of a guy standing on the sidelines of the field of play. He’s shifting his weight from foot to foot...watching for that magic opportunity to leap into the fray.

Shifting his weight from foot to foot, back n forth, back n forth, shifting, gauging opportunity, maybe...oh - not yet, shifting...

Any moment now...

Drop a Tweet to Grassley, asking him to ignore the Blue Slip "tradition". It might not help but it sure as L won't hurt for him to know the public is behind him on this.

He's HERE

Eff the blue slip.

It's not in the Constitution and it's way past time to flush this archaic "collegial" Senate tradition down the toilet.

What will McConnell do?
