Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
Ram them through!
Ram ‘em through to the the ninth circus.
It’s a stupid custom because no democrat will vote for ANY nominee President Trump puts forward anyway.
Thank you, Harry Reid.
Graham said he will honor blue slips for district court judges but not for appeals court judges.
The Democrats are active enemies of constitutional governance. Giving them respect is like giving respect to a domestic enemy.
Republicans view the courts as their best shot for the party having a long-term impact.

Well, then they need to START TRYING HARDER!
BOTH the Senate and President Trump need to get cracking to QUICKLY fill the MANY VACANCIES on US federal judgeships. There are currently 151 vacancies for which many Trump had not yet submitted nominees.

And there are 20 other judgeships where near-future vacancies are known. These also need nominations in the pipeline.

I hope President Trump (and Lindsey Graham, the new Judiciary Committee Chairman) give this effort the URGENCY it needs.
TIME TO GET MOVING SENATOR GRAHAM!
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
Abuse a curtesy, loose a curtesy. Democrats seem to think that they are the only ones who should be able play hard ball.
This blue slip business must end. It is an echoed pattern of an authoritarian use of force. Completely ignoring voters for the sake of the party’s power.
No, I don’t want a democrat packing the courts. That is why I vote in evey elections. This blue slip business goes against everything both parties CLAIM to stand for.
This tool is a bipartisan FU to every legal citizen of the US.
I can’t seem to find any mention of blue slips in the Constitution.
We won, you lost.
ESAD.
Regards.
The hell with some idiotic arcane Senate sorority rule. There is nothing in the Constitution about “blue slips”.
Ram ‘em through Turtle! All of them.
Renominate Ryan Bounds and ram him through too.
I remember seeing some video of that ancient and senile West Virginian - Sennu-tah Rob-baht Byrd - waxing eloquent about how he loved the institution of the U.S. Senate and its truhhdishuns.
And this blue slip $h1t and the like is the kind of stuff I think he liked the MOST. Skroo the Constitution and the laws - we’ll just make up stuff because we have our little club here and everyone who is a member gets rich and gets to be cossetted in luxury in the U.S. Capitol while telling other people what they can and can’t do with their lives, and taking more and more freedoms away.
This MAGA may not last forever, but it sure is nice.
Thank you President Donald J. Trump!!
NOVEMBER 2016 - BEST ELECTION EVER -
The 9th Circuit is the dims rubber stamp court. No wonder they are squealing like a pig.

Finally! Lindsey must lurk on FR....
The Democrats have created the war over judicial nominees. They also obstructing everything Trump so this action is necessary to stop their total obstruction. Withholding their BlueSlips has nothing to do with the qualifications and has everything to do with ideology and obstruction of Trump.
