“As I said, Lindsay Granite has said while he will NOT honor blue slips for appellate court judges, he will honor them for district court judges and Trump has pretty much filled all those he can fill at the moment.”
***********************************************
Gramnesty could easily honor the Constitution (which no where says a single Senator or two Senators can effectively VETO a Presidential Judiciary nomination).
There are 75 of Trump’s Judicial nominees pending confirmation in the Senate (of which 54 are pending in Lindsey Graham’s Judiciary Committee). This is INEXCUSABLE! Graham needs to no longer allow the DemocRATS to use the Blue Slip process to stop consideration of Trump’s nominees. And McConnell needs to schedule confirmation votes on nominees quicker after they’re out of the Judiciary Committee.
There are 4 District Judges scheduled for confirmation vote the week the Senate returns from recess on October 15th.
You call Graham “Granite”. To me he more like slippery slime.
Graham needs to get going on the nominees.
Good people don’t like to be jerked around.
Ordinary people are made to work to the max and they have no toleration for slackers.
The DemoKKKrats honored the blue slips throughout all eight years of Zero’s term for both appellate and district judges.
Grassley changed that to only district. I think that’s fair.
