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.
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.
They would never give you the same courtesy. What an ass.
God this evil
amnesty monster is back.
Trump supported him
What a total asshole. Letting Schumer control that position.
i think we need him
gone at all costs .
He will push thru amnesty
> 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.
Pingawinga
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.
Ffire all us attorneys immediately just like bj clinton did
Get out of Trump's way and support him!
Nice knife in Trumps back after his support .
Romney part 2 .
Why would the Rats bother to Blue Slip the guy?
Quid Pro Joementia Biden the groping Pedo is a lock to win the Presidency, right?
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.
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 is Mitt Romney’s twin sister.
Safely renominated, Lindsey can now return to being a tool for the democrats.
Can’t say I’m shocked but I am surprised he didn’t wait until after the election.
At this point this is simply no reason for any Trump voter to ever vote for the coup supporting GOP in the post Trump era.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Berman refuses to leave after Trump says SEC chief Jay Clayton will replace him

In case you do not know, the SDNY District Court judges voted unanimously to appoint Berman.
How could Trump passively watch that happen and do nothing about it for 26 months?
The Southern District of New York is probably tied with the District of Columbia as the most politically important judicial district in the country.
Ping.
Is this President Trump’s fault, too?
Has little Lindsey lupe-de-loo gone all flaky again?
