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.
It’s Oregan and Bounds is 9th Circuit.
Communist Republic of Oregon.
We need to just abolish the “blue slip “
Ping to #13 and #17.

The state was oregon. A FReeper suggested a nomination from another state. That way the socialist pigs from Oregon cannot “blue-slip” the nominee.
Sounds like a plan to me. :)
