Schumer has asked Clayton to withdraw his nomination which tells me the blue slip cr** is just that...cr**. It's been ignored many, many times before. We have a majority to get this out of Committee and to the floor.
What made Schumer think he would have sway over Clayton?
You may have a majority but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a majority vote. Linda has a lot of power and if his majority doesn't stick with him.........oh well.
