Grassley defies Trump demand to scrap Senate ‘blue slips’ for judicial picks

Senior Republicans in the Senate Judicial Committee standing again on President Donald Trump’s demands to change the traditions of the Senate to the RAM through the provincial court and candidates for workers in the United States.

Senate Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-LOOA, was fire from Trump again late on Sunday night because of “Slips Blue Slips”, a long-term practice in the upper room that the president wants to get rid.

An effective blue slip gives Republicans and Democrats in the Senate’s ability to veto the cassation against the provincial court and the US candidates in their motherlands.

But Grassley argued in a response to X on Monday that without blue slips, none of Trump candidates passed through the Senate.

“Atty/local candidate without a blue slip [have] Voices for confirmation in the Senate Hall and do not do so [have] Voices out of [committee]”As a president, I put [President] Trump is nominated for success, not failure. “

Trump has argued that his constitutional right to appoint American judges and lawyers, but the right “was completely transferred to me in the states that have only one member of Senator in the United States.”

Trump said: “This is because of the old and spontaneous” custom “known as Zarqa Zallah, that Senator Chuck Grassley, from the great state of Iowa, rejects the coup, although the Democrats, including Joe Biden (twice!), Did this on many occasions.”

“Therefore, the only candidates who can get their confirmation of these most important situations, honesty or incredible, democrats! Chuck Grassley must allow strong Republican candidates to escalate these very vital and strong roles, and inform the Democrats, as they often tell us, to go to hell.”

Democrats in the Senate have already used blue slipping traditions this year to prevent some Trump’s choices for the bench as part of their wider jam than candidates.

For example, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y. His blue privilege for candidates in Nix Trump’s lawyer for the southern and eastern regions of New York.

And use Sens. Cory Boker and Andy Kim, both Democrats from New Jersey, blue slipping to object to Alina Hapba’s nomination of the American lawyer in a state park. Habba was exploited by Trump to work on this role on a temporary basis, but after the end of its mandate, a committee of the judges chose not to extend its position.

An alternative was chosen, but then the Prosecutor Bam Bondi was launched. Then Trump pulled his candidacy to Lahba and regained its temporary position.

“Habba was withdrawn as a presidential candidate for New Jersey Otei on July 24,” Grasley said. “[And] the [Judiciary Committee] She did not receive any of the papers needed for the Senate to check their nomination. “

Trump’s renewed anger comes after Grassley was devoted last month because he did not prove the long traditions, and he is not a law, and he demanded that he had the courage to change this practice.
