Two Senate Democrats said Thursday they will block yet another nominee from President Donald Trump to the nation’s powerful appellate courts — inflaming a growing battle between Democratic senators and the White House over judicial candidates.

The White House nominated Ryan Bounds to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday to a seat that became vacant in December. Bounds is currently assistant U.S attorney in Oregon and also served in the George W. Bush administration; he has clerked for the federal judge he would replace, Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain.

I see another "Senate Tradition" going down in flames due to Democrat obstruction.  Let's rumble.  If it's not in the Constitution then screw you, Wyden.

From the article:
"Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon — announced they would not return a “blue slip” for Bounds’ nomination to the Senate Judiciary Committee."

Clearly, it's time to give "the blue slip" the pink slip and toss it into the Senate trash bin...
