RINO Chuck Grassley Lashes Out at Trump After President Calls on Him to Ditch a Little-Known ‘Tradition’ That Has Allowed Dems to Stonewall Trump’s Nominees (VIDEO)

Senate Republicans either do not understand the urgency of rapidly approving President Trump’s nominees, especially judges, or they are secretly okay with seeing the Trump Administration getting consistently overruled by far-left black-robed tyrants.

Senate Democrats are currently utilizing a long-standing yet little-known procedure known as the ‘blue-slip’ process to gum up the works.

As The Hill notes, the process works like this: Senate Judiciary Committee chairs do not proceed on federal district-level judicial and prosecutorial nominees unless both senators in the state where those districts sign off on nominees with blue-slip documents.

This means that Trump can’t get any district judges or attorneys approved in states like California, Nevada, New York, and Illinois unless he gets both Democratic Senators to sign off. He also can’t get them approved in states with one GOP Senator, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, unless the Democratic Senators in those states also give the green light.

Last night, President Trump called on Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the influential Senate Judiciary Chairman, to do away with this ‘tradition’, pointing out how so many Democrats are abusing the process to ensure his agenda remains stymied by radical left judges and attorneys.

Trump also pointed out that Joe Biden and other Democrats broke the ‘blue slip’ process multiple times when it was convenient for them and added that Grassley would be a coward if he did not do the same.

Grassley responded this morning by lashing out at Trump instead of abiding by his wishes or suggesting an alternative approach.

GRASSLEY: Last night I was surprised to see President Trump on Truth Social go after me and Senate Republicans over what we call the blue slip…The people in real America don’t care what the blue slip is, but it impacts in their states the district judges who serve their communities and the U.S. attorneys who ensure the law and order is enforced.

I was offended by what the president said and I’m disappointed that it would result in personal insults. We’re here to do business that’s a very important part of this committee’s work, to do our constitutional duties of reviewing people who require Senate confirmation.

It’s time for Senators like Grassley, who is 91 years old, to retire since they won’t fight fire with fire. Someone like Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) should take Grassley’s place.
