Sen. Klobuchar was willing to allow hearing for Stras nomination, but Sen. Franken isn't. Will this kill blue slip?http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/05/al-franken-opposes-david-stras-242340 …

Yup, just a matter of time before blue slip abused . . .
-
"...provided that the Administration has engaged in pre-nomination consultation with both of the home-state Senators." from 2003 seems clear
-
Blue slip policy has vacilated over time. Odd get rid of them, but don't think it should be done opportunistically
-
Yes, weird, shifting tradition, but not sure how according to current rules this is abuse. Franken wasn't consulted, apparently. Can dissent
-
Unless I'm missing something slips are opinions of home Senators, not about whether candidates are qualified, right?
-
Not mutually exclusive
