Good. It’s about time someone with our beliefs and goals shoves it right down their throats without a second thought.
In the past, it was considered an honor for a nominee to come from the Senators home State. Ideology wasn’t involved, hence the tradition of the blue cards. Now, the Democrats are so ideological they block anyone who doesn’t meet their litmus test and so the need to get rid of the tradition of the blue cards.
Here's Daniel P. Collins form 1997:

YIPPEEE!
anything Feinstein and Harris want is seriously suspect.. seriously! and they definitely should NOT be afforded a veto power over court nominees,
just look at the sickening spectacle Feinstein made of the Kavanaugh hearing, for Heaven’s sake! She should have been thrown out of the Senate for that awful load of krap!
Understandable why they’re desperate. If libs lose the 9th circus they’ll be in for a rough ride; their jurisdiction extends out to the planet Saturn at least.

“Elections have consequences”
Democrats LOVED that when The Little Kenyan Boy said that
Majority Leader McConnell hasn’t been in lock-step with the President on as many issues as I’d like, but
He has Done President Trump (and America) a SOLID on the issue of staffing the Judicial Branch of government.
It’s a beautiful thing. I think it’s going to be a great week.
They are on a roll today. Cloture invoked for:
#38 Kenneth Bell to be U.S. District Judge for the Western District of North Carolina
#37 Carl Nichols to be U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia
#35 Stephen Clark, Sr. to be U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri
#23 Howard Nielson, Jr. to be U.S. District Judge for the District of Utah

definition of a lawyer.....
56 years old. Hopefully good for 20 years.
RATS didn't do this to Hussein. Very strange.
I’ll continue to point this out here AS LONG AS NECESSARY, which is until I stop hearing people here bitch about having only a RINO to vote for in the November elections...and then talking about not voting for the RINO, out of some demented ‘principle’.
The vote here was 53-46 for Collins to join the Ninth Circuit, a straight party line vote. That means the following -
1. EVERY Republican in the Senate voted FOR him. This includes ROMNEY, COLLINS, MURKOWSKI, and the many other Republican Trump haters. Without their votes, Collins would have been dead in the water.
2. EVERY Democrat in the Senate voted AGAINST him. This includes Doug Jones and Joe Manchin. So even the most conservative Democrats in the Senate still will not support Trump’s judges, regardless of what they may promise you before election time [I specifically remember people here telling us not to worry about Manchin, as he’s ‘one of us’. Well, he wasn’t on this vote, nor many other votes].
If Trump didn’t have his 53 Republicans in the Senate, he would be COMPLETELY NEUTERED as president, unable to do a damn thing in the White House. Millions of Republicans have held their noses in countless elections, but still voted for Senate RINOs when it counted, in November, and because of those people, we’re getting judges seated.
So, you people who still sit out elections in November, because the Republican on the ticket isn’t perfect, GROW UP, you’re not doing anyone here a favor with your ‘principled’ stance, you’re only enabling the Democrats - and you need to accept that FACT. If you don’t like the Republican candidate, deal with it in the Primary, and ONLY in the Primary...when November comes, remember the party-line vote here, and the many other party-line and near party-line votes.
Sounds PERFECT to me!
Attention democrats: WE want MORE of this, not less.
