UNBELIEVABLE. Who do you work for, Sen Grassley⁉️ YOU ARE THE INSULT.
🚨 JUST IN: GOP Senator Chuck Grassley is upset about President Trump asking him to fast-track the judicial nominees.
.
Grassley says precedent must be upheld:
"I was OFFENDED by what the president said, and I am disappointed it would result in personal insults." UNREAL.
.
Details:
Senate Democrats are currently utilizing a long-standing yet little-known procedure known as the ‘blue-slip’ process to gum up the works.
.
As The Hill notes, the process works like this: Senate Judiciary Committee chairs do not proceed on federal district-level judicial and prosecutorial nominees unless both senators in the state where those districts sign off on nominees with blue-slip documents.
.
This means that Trump can’t get any district judges or attorneys approved in states like California, Nevada, New York, and Illinois unless he gets both Democratic Senators to sign off. He also can’t get them approved in states with one GOP Senator, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, unless the Democratic Senators in those states also give the green light.
.
Last night, President Trump called on Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the influential Senate Judiciary Chairman, to do away with this ‘tradition’, pointing out how so many Democrats are abusing the process to ensure his agenda remains stymied by radical left judges and attorneys.
.
Trump also pointed out that Joe Biden and other Democrats broke the ‘blue slip’ process multiple times when it was convenient for them and added that Grassley would be a coward if he did not do the same.
