Can any woman in this country close her eyes without fearing an attack by Al Franken?

As I understand it Grassley can nix the blue slip in it's entirety. I like this guy, and how he stood against some of the Clinton economic "reforms" in the go-go 90's and how shitorically he was spot on about them, but it is way beyond time for him the nix the blue slip.

Did Franken get a chance to grope the nominees?

The Blue Chip was meant to speed up appointments, not slow them down!

If a State put in two chips, the rest of the Senate would honor that, expecting the same for their nominees in return.

Great news!

On the downside it gives Al a chance to polish his Commie image at the worst possible time. But one Dem is the same as another anyway.

Thank you Senator. The blue slip rule should be permanently deleted. It is a dumb rule.
