Trump Erupts Over Judicial Appointments
Story by Sarah Bennett•
7h
 
President Donald Trump is challenging the Senate’s long-standing “blue slip” tradition, arguing that it obstructs his constitutional authority to appoint federal judges. The custom allows home-state senators to approve or block judicial nominees. Trump, however, claims the tradition has been used to stall key appointments and leave critical vacancies unfilled. He is now pressuring Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to end the practice, calling it outdated.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
