Think blue slips are bad for neutral reasons? Seek to end them starting w/ the next prez term, or at least next Cong.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/opinion/senate-judicial-nominees-blue-slips.html …

I think it would be tough, but if the parties could reach a deal to abolish blue slips forever but divvy up filling the many vacancies that exist today because of blue slips, I’d be fine with it.

One thing missing from this discussion is the extent to which bipartisan judicial nominations can pick up the slack in terms of arriving at a name that's acceptable to both sides. (Many but not all senators currently use JNCs & we'll be making a comprehensive list shortly)
