“A ‘Blue Slip’ means that if you’re a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a US Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, ‘Blue Slips’ are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican US Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and that’s not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday. It’s almost like he doesn’t understand the concept of compromise.
And – shocker – Donald’s also full of shit. “I have eight GREAT Republican US Attorney Candidates” in states that “voted overwhelmingly for me” is just false, even when you discount the “GREAT” as really like maybe two nominees could fit that criteria, which is why he didn’t bother naming them.
