Voron@SrRochardBunson The blue slip rule is a senate rule allowing any senator from a state that would be in the jurisdiction of a nominated federal judge to issue a blue slip effectively vetoing the nomination it’s not a law just a senate rule https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_slip#:~:text=In%20the%20Senate%2C%20a%20blue,to%20return%20a%20blue%20slip.
Wolleysegap@voron @SrRochardBunson So some of this is political theater, right? Moscow Mitch got away with it but now the Dems are just saying see, we try to do the right thing but those rotten varmints on the other side won't cooperate with anything we try to do
@Wolleysegap @SrRochardBunson Yes and if people are pissed about the courts I suggest they contact their Dem senators and urge them to tell the sense leadership to stop accepting blue slips
Love Trumps Hate
Anne Ominous@voron @Wolleysegap @SrRochardBunson ne of my senators is dick durbin, who appears to work overtime to be a centrist who loves republicans instead of working for the people who voted him into office.
i am livid he is not opening an investigation into SCOTUS
@SrRochardBunson @Wolleysegap @rustoleumlove his defense of reinstalling the blue slip rule will do massive damage for decades
