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.

I believe the history of it was to show a courtesy to home state senators on nominees and was rarely used. Now it has become a tool of obstructionism and and a gotcha thing.
Dump it now.
