I thought, incorrectly it appears, that the Senate had done away with blue slips for judicial appointments. From the dreaded Wikipedia:

A report issued by the Congressional Research Service in 2003 defines six periods in the use of the blue slip by the Senate:[snip]

January 3, 2018 - present: "The lack of two positive blue slips will not necessarily preclude a circuit-court nominee from receiving a hearing unless the White House failed to consult with home-state senators. Hearings are unlikely for district court nominees without two positive blue slips."
