Safely renominated, Lindsey can now return to being a tool for the democrats.

This is how this particular US Attorney has maintained his "temporary position," for his commission is only until the Senate confirms a successor.

So Lindsey allows the democrats of NY to prevent a hearing and a vote, and thus a successor.

It's a neat trick, Lindsey, but we know the game. You don't want the US attorney to be replaced by the executive.

The answer of course is for the DOJ payroll dept. to start paying the new guy, stop paying the old guy and let the old guy battle it out in the courts till the end of the Congress.

This is one of the mechanisms the progressives push their agenda.

Blue state politicians reliably assure only progressives get approval.

Red states, not so much, because their approval must also be approved by the Progressive Media.

...it has always been the policy of the Judiciary Committee to receive blue slips from the home state senators...

> it has always been the policy of the Judiciary Committee to receive blue slips from the home state senators before proceeding to the nomination <

There must be something wrong with my copy of the Constitution. Maybe a few pages are missing. Because I looked up how federal judges are appointed. And I couldn’t find anything about “blue slips” there.

Why have committee hearings at all? Just ask the Democrat Senators who THEY want!

Graham was, is and always will be nothing but and empty suit. He is all talk and no do. He is one of the ultimate Rhino’s who has pulled the wool over many for years. With spineless people like him in positions of importance we will never see any progress — only empty talk. He is either too stupid to see what the Democrats are or he is a part of the deep state.

Get out of Trump's way and support him!

All smoke and mirrors, If Trump's nominee is blue slipped he will make him a temporary appointee or a recess appointment bypassing Congress. It has the same effect no matter what, Trump's guy is in there is nothing they can do about if he is reelected. If reelected I believe he can do a recess appointment and there is nothing Congress can do about it until 2023. Always best to have a person in permanently their is no question as to his authority. Also, I am not sure Dems will want to fight this too much. Not like judges, AG’s can be removed with incoming administrations versus a life time appointment for judges. Maybe for visual effect but the end result will be the same. They are evil not stupid.

Graham needs to be gone, no matter the cost. He is a viper clutched to the breast of the GOP and Conservatives. If there aren’t pictures of him with a goat, it is just because he so loves being a turncoat.

Trump did fire Berman's predecessor and put Berman in the spot.

How often is he going to have to fire his own guys?

You think Trump and Barr didn’t know the committee process beforehand?Let this play out. Trump has a temp of his choosing in place, and the Dems continue to look like the obstructionist they are.this is just too obvious to not have been thought out.

“ Graham was, is and always will be nothing but and empty suit. ”

Please, don’t jump to conclusions. Let’s wait till Hannity has him on as a guest to explain everything to us.
