Here’s what’s going on in the Senate Judiciary Committee right now: traditionally, judicial appointments are only considered once Senators from the state where the nominee will be appointed indicate their approval by turning in what we call a “blue slip.”

No Democratic Judiciary Committee Chairman has ever held a hearing for a nominee over the objections of a Republican home-state Senator.

Under this Republican Congress, this convention is being violated because the majority wants to confirm judges that they agree with ideologically and as quickly as possible.

It’s an abuse of power. Charge McConnell with Malfeasance, because that is what this is.

The Constitution has been around longer than that but you toss the parts that don't fit your agenda. Think about that for awhile.

It was a stupid practice, and unnecessary. All conventions got blown out when Reid (yes he was the first) jumped around standing Senate ‘guidelines’ to push Obama’s agenda. A good judge should not be punished because his state Senator is a moron.

Convention is not binding. It's just tradition and traditions change. You don't get to say what traditions should be kept. You're damn happy to throw out Christian traditions like 'Thou shall not kill' when it come to abortion.
