I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know my vote for trump in 2016 had this far reaching impact on that sh&thole court in California. The BEST presidential vote I casted

In the last 100 years, only two chairman of the past 18 chairmen (Eastland and Leahy) have adopted policies requiring two positive blue slips as a prerequisite for committee consideration of judicial nominations
Previous Republican and Democratic chairmen, including Senators Edward Kennedy and Joe Biden, held hearings on nominees without both blue slips.
The blue slip is not enshrined in any Senate or committee rule. Rather, it is a courtesy that has been applied based on the chairman’s prerogative since it was created in 1917...nip...On the other hand, some have argued that the blue-slip courtesy has no place in modern judicial confirmations. The L.A. Times recently suggested getting rid of the blue slip, as did the New York Times several years ago.

Even our Committee’s Ranking Member, Senator Feinstein, once advocated abolishing the blue slip. I disagree that we should abolish the blue slip.

The blue slip serves the important purpose of encouraging consultation between the White House and the Senate. The White House has an obligation to engage in good-faith consultation with home-state senators. I won’t allow the White House to just steamroll home-state senators. But, as I’ve said all along, I won’t allow the blue slip process to be abused.

I won’t allow senators to prevent a Committee hearing for political or ideological reasons. Using the blue slip for these purposes is not consistent with historical practice.

My take on the 9th District court confirmation yesterday & the 3 just out of Committee waiting for the Senate’s return is that Feinstein is not going to be afforded undue courtesy after her recent actions re Kavanaugh.

“Last night the White House moved forward without consulting me, picking controversial candidates from its initial list and another individual with no judicial experience who had not previously been suggested,” Feinstein said in a statement.

Shove it, Fineswine.

You're lucky the teeth didn't get busted out of your face.

The Blue Slip is a traditional courtesy of the Senate

She should check her @ss for her Blue Slip, because that's where President "Triumph" Trump probably shoved it.

It’s my understanding that the 9th Circuit Court had more decisions overturned than any of the other Circuit Courts. I’m sure Feinstein would have her own explanation for that,but it’s high time that particular court got it’s act together. Pres. Trump’s act here will maybe set that in motion.

“without consulting me”

Someone thinks she is more important that she really is.

He should tweet to Chi-Spy Feinstain that he consulted with US Senator Steve Daines (R-Montana), because he figured that Chi-Spy and Kameltoe (The Whore That Roared) were at a slumber party with Chrissie Blatantly-Whored...

Imagine a Filibuster proof Senate. Imagine remaking the 9 circuit courts into 50 where the outcome only applies to the particular state where a ruling was made. Imagine flushing away all the leftists after the 9 circuit courts are dissolved .

Grassley has been ignoring blue slips since last November, but has all the more reason to ignore FeinSwine & Harris now.

Now THAT just might garner our great President even more kudos than his moving of our Embassy to Jerusalem!
