Trump nominees squeezed between 'blue slips' and blue obstruction

president Donald Trump The Senate was attacked by preventing the favorite candidates from confirming the main positions, but legislators and people familiar with the operation say that the Senate does not necessarily bear.
Trump has made a mistake in imitating the “Blu Zlu” of the Senate, an unwritten base that requires candidates for the American judge, lawyer and American Marshal to obtain the approval of the Senate in the state before its confirmation.
He said that the Blue State Senators will shine only “Democrats or perhaps the weak Republicans.” President Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee, called for the abolition of this practice, and threatened to prosecute it.
But Grassley and other Republicans do not spoil their position that blue slips are an indispensable part of the confirmation process. Blue slips have been used for more than a century. Former presidents have obtained many candidates who were confirmed under the system, indicating that other factors contribute to Trump’s struggle to secure blue slips from Democrats.
Trump asks Grassley to tell the Democrats “go to hell” to the low judicial candidates in the Senate
Trump and his allies have escalated attacks on the blue slipping process this week, accusing Grassi of banning candidates by preserving them.
Trump wrote on the social truth: “This is because of the old and spontaneous” custom “known as Zarqa Zlu, that Senator Chuck Grassley, from the great state of Iowa, rejects the coup.”
The president threatened to sue what he said was the “Agreement of the masters”, although it is unclear who would sue the government and for any reasons.
“It does not depend on the law, and I think it is unconstitutional, and I may soon file a lawsuit,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office.
When asked about the possible lawsuit and why Trump candidates in the blue states struggle with confirmation, he told the White House Fox News Digital in a statement to be processed Holdup.
“The Democrats of the Senate have led a historic obstacle against President Trump and his candidates,” said White House spokeswoman Abigel Jacks. “Left partisan obstacles are only hurting the American people and should end.”
Trump appointed former personal defense lawyer Alina Haba as an “temporary” American lawyer, who carries a 120 -day border that federal judges have the ability to extend federal vacancies laws if no one is confirmed by the Senate to the position by that time.
Judges chose to extend Trump candidates, as in the Jay Clayton case in the southern region of New York. But in an extraordinary step, Federal judges in New Jersey Hapba refused.
Judges chose another person, Trump and the public lawyer Pam Bondi He fired immediately. Trump and Bondi then used a series of legal maneuvers to reinstall Haba for another temporary period, but a federal judge rule unconstitutional moves. The Trump administration appeals this decision in a case that can now make its way to the Supreme Court and forcing judges to influence what has become a style of Trump at the end of the Senate.
John Sarkon in the northern province of New York faced a similar situation to Habba’s lawyer, and he is now an “Acting” American lawyer. Bill Essly in the California central region, who took a supportive voice standing in the midst of prominent deportations in his area, also moved from “temporary” to the American lawyer “acting”. American lawyers are also acting for a temporary period of 210 days. It is not clear how Trump will continue as soon as these conditions are expired.
Karl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond, said that solutions challenge the spirit of the constitution, which says that the candidates must be confirmed “with the advice and approval” of the Senate.
“It is good that this scrutiny be from the judicial committee and then on the ground, and we hope that they can return to something like that, but I am not sure that this will happen, so I think it is worrying.”
The administration must deal with the Senate during the nomination process, including by early consulting with the US members of the United States about potential candidates.
Former President Joe Biden secured blue vouchers from the opposition parties of 49 candidates, including 27 American lawyers, while the Trump administration managed to secure assurances of almost all American lawyers nominated by the president.
Blue Slip, to the Senate members, is a decisive negotiation tool, and the founder of Article Three Project, Mike Davis will not disappear, despite Trump’s intense objections to it. Davis, a strong supporter of Trump, served as a lawyer for the Senate Judicial Committee and supervised the nominations during the Grasley era in the previous Trump administration.
Davis told Fox News Digital: “It doesn’t go away away. Why is this?
Candidates must also provide the Senate Judicial Committee with a questionnaire, and to examine the background of the FBI and financial disclosures. A source familiar with the operation told Fox News Digital that the committee had not received Habba paper work to start examining it.
Haba said she could not start the process because SENS is a democratic. Corrie Booker Andy Kim from New Jersey will not give blue blue approval. It is not clear whether the Trump administration has approached the husband of Senators around Habba.
Haba, like Trump, blames Grasley.
“The tradition of blue slipping prevents the candidate from reaching the point of presenting this issue to the committee and the Senate. You know who can get rid of it? You are Chuckgrassley.”
“This is the time to lead, not deviation” and that the president should not be “doing the dirty action of Thomps Teles, Korea Booker, and Andy Kim.”
Booker and Kim’s offices did not respond to the comment.
Grassley went on the tears of social media this week, and defended his decision to preserve blue slips, which the head of the committee has a discretionary power.
“Our judge/judge of the provincial judge without a blue slip is running the votes to obtain confirmation in the Senate and they do not set the votes to get out of CMTE,” 91 -year -old Senator wrote. “As president, I put PRES TROMP LOMS for success, not failure.”
Trump’s Grassley re -“gets courage” to accelerate the nominations
Senator Tom Teleles, RN.C, one of the many Republicans who will not vote for a candidate that was not approved by the United States of Senators, referred to a statement on social media when they were asked to comment by Fox News Digital.
“Grassley President is an initial governor who wants to remove radical liberals from the bench. Getting rid of blue slipping is a terrible, short -sighted trick that paves the way for the Democrats to the memory of the liberal judges of extremist in red states in the long run.”
Trump has so far secured the Blue Party opposition to four candidates. Davis said Trump is facing a unique level of obstacles from Democrats.
Davis said: “Every white house does what he can to involve the opposition party, but the Democrats have made it clear that they are not interested in working with President Trump, so it is understood that his focus was elsewhere at the present time.”
For example, Senator Chuck Schumer, DN.Y. , Giving a blue slip to Kaleiton, Chairman of the Securities Committee and the former Stock Exchange. But Clayton’s ability to win the vote of federal judges in the southern province in New York allowed him to work as an American lawyer without confirmation.
Senator Dick Durbin, D-Lell, a member of the Senate Judicial Committee, complicated the confirmation process by putting candidates for American researchers, which slowly slows down, but it is not completely prohibited from this process.
JD Vance Vice President, who was then a member of the Senate, did the same for Biden’s candidates at the end of the last administration.
Trump’s battle is likely to develop with the upper chamber, especially since the higher courts are superior to Habba’s nomination, which is currently not valid, according to the decision of the local court judge this month. The American Court of Appeal for the Third Chamber has set a surrounding schedule in the case that extends until October, but in the end the Supreme Court can harmonize whether Trump’s method of the Senate’s constitutional consequences.
