Thanks. BFL
Ping
Thank you for the ping! The blue state circuits are the question, since US senators in DC can quash til hell freezes over. A brutal fix of senatorial power, realizing of course this works in favor of each party in power.
Trump the sower.

“ in a letter sent to the White House the same day, Bounds’ two home-state senators — Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon — announced they would not return a “blue slip” for Bounds’ nomination to the Senate Judiciary Committee. “
Think Grassley is going to ignore the Blue Slip for appellate nominees, but keep it for circuit.
The Dems are burning the Senate down.
Yes, you are correct on the Rule. Our problem is that with the objection of one US senator, in his own state, no circuit court nomination can go forward for consideration.
Two same state US senators just objected to one of Trump’s circuit court nominations. This means Trump will have to withdraw that nominee and submit another. Sorry I can’t remember which state. It was a blue state, of course.

In which century did a Republican Senator last block a Democrat appointee?
They do this stuff, and we don’t, at least in my memory.
You know, the always low energy Republicans play by Duchess of Queensbury Rules. It’s thought more becoming to do nothing. Gentleman to the last man... and losing.
Yes they are. So many rules in the Senate. But what happens when we are the minority? I would guess not the same thing.
It’s Oregan and Bounds is 9th Circuit.
Can’t argue with your take.
They have no fire in the belly for anything.
Well, opposing Trump...
I do see drive to do that.
“If confirmed, Matthew J. Kacsmaryk of Texas will serve as a District Judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Matthew Kacsmaryk is Deputy General Counsel to First Liberty Institute, where his practice focuses on religious liberty litigation in federal courts and amicus briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court.”
This says it all!! WINNING IS REAL!!
Communist Republic of Oregon.
We need to just abolish the “blue slip “
Ping to #13 and #17.
OH, yes! There is motivation to depose Trump and his agenda without question.
I sense a break down even on that.
This Schumer/Pelosi agreement has surely rung their bell and is Trump’s clarion call that we are beginning a new round in the ring. He finally took a swing at the enemy inside the gate. Whether they show up and perform for their president or not, remains to be seen.
Trump has played this magnificently, embarrassed them utterly and speaks to them loud and clear, and speaks for me.
He has had this natural capability to cut deals with the Left from the beginning, from the escalator ride down, but he has demonstrated rare patience with these RINO Swamp dwellers, until the very last play in the very last months of the fiscal year, when the stand off was a crisis for his agenda. He had to do it and boy, did they have it coming!
