Earlier I said Graham would honor blue slips. So forget the district courts as “open.” Those are all blue slips.
Trump just submitted a big list for the rest.
He has made all needed nominations.
If I remember correctly, LS, blue slips makes it harder to get the nominees confirmed. So if Graham is honoring them, the question is why? Did Grassley? Why is Graham slowing Trump’s progress a year before Graham is turning committee back to Grassley?
