        This is pretty much sounds like he's saying that it will matter until it matters, and then it won't.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/931268834455146498 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Zoe TillmanVerified account @ZoeTillman
        Grassley says he'll continue to recognize the blue slip "courtesy," but that it can't be used as a veto. Says he'll be less inclined to override an unreturned blue slip for district court nominees, though.

        So, David Stras and Kyle Duncan are moving forward. Duncan is moving forward despite being a nominee from a two-Republican state, Louisiana, and Sen. Kennedy had not returned a positive blue slip.

        Just another example of @senschumer NOT having the pull+efforts he should be having; That @amyklobuchar FAILED to back Franken on Stras shows the issue that @SenateDems are having about Trump nominees,especially Manchin .@reedfrich

        Not exactly out of the blue...but yet another sign of norm erosion that will be difficult to repair whenever the current era ends.

        I’m sorry, isn’t “tradition” the reason the GOP used to withhold a vote on Merrick Garlands nomination? I can’t stand this hypocrisy.
