The Rats are angry?
The Rats are always angry!!!!!!!!!
More winning! I love it.
Im embarrassed that I didnt know my vote for trump in 2016 had this far reaching impact on that sh&thole court in California. The BEST presidential vote I casted
In the last 100 years, only two chairman of the past 18 chairmen (Eastland and Leahy) have adopted policies requiring two positive blue slips as a prerequisite for committee consideration of judicial nominations
Previous Republican and Democratic chairmen, including Senators Edward Kennedy and Joe Biden, held hearings on nominees without both blue slips.
The blue slip is not enshrined in any Senate or committee rule. Rather, it is a courtesy that has been applied based on the chairmans prerogative since it was created in 1917...nip...On the other hand, some have argued that the blue-slip courtesy has no place in modern judicial confirmations. The L.A. Times recently suggested getting rid of the blue slip, as did the New York Times several years ago.
Even our Committees Ranking Member, Senator Feinstein, once advocated abolishing the blue slip. I disagree that we should abolish the blue slip.
The blue slip serves the important purpose of encouraging consultation between the White House and the Senate. The White House has an obligation to engage in good-faith consultation with home-state senators. I wont allow the White House to just steamroll home-state senators. But, as Ive said all along, I wont allow the blue slip process to be abused.
I wont allow senators to prevent a Committee hearing for political or ideological reasons. Using the blue slip for these purposes is not consistent with historical practice.

My take on the 9th District court confirmation yesterday & the 3 just out of Committee waiting for the Senate’s return is that Feinstein is not going to be afforded undue courtesy after her recent actions re Kavanaugh.
The greatest POTUS since Gen. Washington WINNING AGAIN!! No, I never will get tired of his winning for America and its people.
Shove it, Fineswine.
You're lucky the teeth didn't get busted out of your face.
She should check her @ss for her Blue Slip, because that's where President "Triumph" Trump probably shoved it.
It’s my understanding that the 9th Circuit Court had more decisions overturned than any of the other Circuit Courts. I’m sure Feinstein would have her own explanation for that,but it’s high time that particular court got it’s act together. Pres. Trump’s act here will maybe set that in motion.
“without consulting me”
Someone thinks she is more important that she really is.
>>GO DONALD!!!! THANK YOU!! YOU ARE A FIGHTER!!!<<
Best POTUS since Gen. Washington!
He should tweet to Chi-Spy Feinstain that he consulted with US Senator Steve Daines (R-Montana), because he figured that Chi-Spy and Kameltoe (The Whore That Roared) were at a slumber party with Chrissie Blatantly-Whored...
>>Hes like a shark....he never sleeps & he never stops swimming.<<
Excellent analogy! Swimming and winning swimming and winning. We have been truly blessed!
Ha! I dated her sister: Helen Bed.
>>Obama packed the whole establishment with liberals. DOJ,Courts,FBI,CIA....
Not a word from the left about that.<<
And what’s worse, hardly a word from the right, either!
Elections have consequences.
Grassley has been ignoring blue slips since last November, but has all the more reason to ignore FeinSwine & Harris now.
>> What if the Court were moved to Nevada or Arizona instead?<<
Now THAT just might garner our great President even more kudos than his moving of our Embassy to Jerusalem!
The kalifornia blunder twin senators can go pound sand.
