““Trump’s initial comments came on Sunday night when he declared that his “Constitutional Right” to appoint judges and U.S. attorneys “has been completely taken away from me.””
____________
He’s right.
Grassley is another Dinosaur from a bygone era of ethanol hucksters and McRomBush Horseshiite.
Guess what? The old food pyramid is a scam. Phony crap from postwar overproduction issues. Just like the shiiitey oils they’ve been pushing.
Carbs are killing people.
Go true Vegan and feed the oats to the phoookin 4 legged beasties, and then eat the red meat.
Clean Meat.
Clean Veg.
Butter. Olive Oil.
Like people have eaten since the beginning.
even though the Democrats, including Crooked Joe Biden (Twice!), have done so on numerous occasions,”
“”””“Why you’re picking a fight you can’t win is really beyond most of our comprehension,” one Senate Republican told The Hill. “”””””””
President Trump will remember that when you need something for your state.
Biden/Schumer got EVERYTHING they wanted. President Trump couldn’t get a Diet Coke if he asked.
“Why you’re picking a fight you can’t win is really beyond most of our comprehension,” one Senate Republican told The Hill.
What would these "reporters" if not for their unnamed suppsed sources?
This isn’t about Grassley. It’s about the rules.
“It also doesn’t make sense in the face of other members who have said regardless of what the chair may do...”
Get them on record so we know who to try to primary.
Advice... and consent.
It’s really about separation of powers.
But President Trump can and should use the bully pulpit to change use of blue slips, if he thinks that a battle he can win.
We shall see.
The blue slip thing may make some level of sense in more normal times if used sparingly, but the Dems blanket rejection of Trump nominees in NY is ridiculous.
Dirt bag Republicans think Adam Schiff should have veto power over Trump’s picks for California judges. Tjis is why we have judicial tyranny. Guarantee Chuckie Schumer will eliminated this practice by once it becomes political inconvenient for the democrats

“My personal view is that the blue slip, with regard to circuit court appointments, ought to simply be a notification of how you’re going to vote, not the opportunity to blackball,” then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a 2017 interview with The New York Times.

He gets to nominate whoever he wishes - the Senate decides if they will be confirmed and how to go about that process. There is no “constitutional right” for the President to do that. So no, he’s not right...however any certain Senator’s objections to the nominees may be.
Many Dem judges have been blocked by the GOP using this same policy. Red states would be overrun with Leftist judges appointed by Obama and Biden otherwise affecting culture and policy for all of this time. On the other hand, this policy is why there are liberal judges appointed previously by Republican presidents in this districts because they would pick judges acceptable to the Senators in order to fill vacancies.
Didn’t Biden ignore those?
I know those things served GOP well during the past...
The blue slip policy has been around before Charles Grassley was even born, let alone his time in the Senate. If you aren't aware, both of those things are a *very* long time. So it is hardly a policy of "dirt bag Republicans" to go after Trump.
Guarantee Chuckie Schumer will eliminated this practice once it becomes political inconvenient for the democrats
He didn't before and this prevented many far-left judges from being appointed to affect culture and policy in Red states by both Presidents Biden and Obama.
Republicans already scaled back the use of this policy...which of course Schumer was able to use against us under Biden's term.
Grassley rips up 'blue slip' for a pair of Trump court picks
The blue slip policy is nothing but corruption. The Senator from that state can demand a bribe to not blue slip someone.... OR they can withhold advice and consent for a corrupt political reason. And it came about in 1917... a very dark progressive era of the Senate.
So you literally post a quote from Mitch McConnell blasting the Democrats for obstructing Trump nominees as evidence of Republicans wanting to obstruct Trump nominees? Do you not recall Donald Trump was President in 2017 and what that quote is referencing?
Ridiculous.
