Sen Durbin mulls reviving tool that could stymie Trump nominees in another term

Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., signaled his willingness to discuss bringing back a past Senate norm of allowing home state senators to nix judicial nominees they take issue with, as the potential of former President Trump being elected once again in November has become more evident.
During a recent Judiciary Committee mark-up, Durbin responded to Republican frustrations over their inability to prevent certain circuit court judicial nominees in their state or region from moving forward, due to a lack of consideration for "blue slips," or the approval or opposition of home state senators.
The informal tool was routinely honored by the committee chairman for decades before the courtesy ceased to be offered in 2017.
"I'm ready to open this conversation and dialogue on a bipartisan basis," Durbin said last week.

Sounds like a fallback maneuver to protect their home turfs.
Interesting.
Interesting.

Oh how convenient Dickhead Durbin.

Durbin also wants to put people that invaded our nation at the southern border into our military. If there's an idea that is bad for America, Durbin supports it.

I fully supported and still support the Turtle's gamesmanship in keeping Merrick Garland's sorry arse out of the Supremes. It would be hypocritical to feign outrage over the Dems playing hardball in return.

Won’t be necessary. Trump won’t be nominating anything.

Based on what?

So Trump floods the judiciary with judges from the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, Oklahoma, and a few other ruby red states. I'm okay with this.

No problem. Under Trump only nominees from Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Alabama. DeSantis, Sara Sanders and Tubberville, etc pick nominees for the East and West coast positions. I’m good with that.

the DEMs have always been the first to play the 'hardball' game - at least within my lifetime awareness - starting somewhere in mid-'60s. (post LBJ)

there should be no "blue slips" its the POTUS responsibility to nominate judges. If they are not qualified they should not make it out of committee.

If this rule is so bad that it needs to be replaced, why wasn’t the rule change proposed as soon as the democrats took the senate?
