This morning’s Judiciary Committee nominations hearing includes a nominee who has yet to receive sign off from home-state senators. Republicans are misrepresenting the history of the 100-year-old blue-slip policy to justify this move. It’s important to know the facts.
FACT: In 2015 and 2016, Republicans used the #blueslip to block 9 Obama nominees:
Rebecca Haywood
Lisabeth Tabor Hughes
Abdul Kallon
Myra Selby
Don Beatty
Mary Barzee Flores
Dax Lopez
Patricia Timmons-Goodson
Anne Traum.
FACT: Fewer than FIVE judges have been confirmed without two #blueslips in 100 years.
FACT: The last time a judge was confirmed without two #blueslips was 1989.
FACT: During the administrations of Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton, not ONE judge was confirmed without two blue slips.
FACT: During the Obama administration, 18 judicial nominees were blocked because they did not receive a #blueslip from both home-state senators.
FACT: 5 of the 9 Trump nominees confirmed to date have required a #blueslip from Democratic senators. All have received them. There has been NO obstruction to justify eliminating a 100-year-old Senate tool.
It's pretty clear that the @SenateGOP has little integrity. They are fighting to get done everything they can while they still control the Senate regardless of the ethics involved. They need to lose control in '18!
Turnabout FAIR PLAY
This is 
doing!!!
Women, Abdul and Lopez. What a surprise.
Senator Feinstein, you do realize the @GOP @SenateGOP @SenMajLdr aren't following the #USRuleofLaw, just the GOP perverted rule of law. #GOPHypocrisy
FACT: Obama financially drained the Democratic Party dry so Hillary used her illegal donations from terrorist countries to steal the election from Bernie...And you and the rest of the Democrats knew about it.
Where are your FACTS to back up this claim. Just because you said it or heard it don’t make it a FACT!
