Truly a matter of principle, at least now. Chuck Grassley takes his duties as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committe very seriously, which is why he is putting an end to the century-old tradition of "blue slips" for federal judicial nominees; in the past, a senator from the home state where a new federal judge would serve would have to sign off on the nominee before he (or even she!) got a hearing, giving senators a measure of input over who'd be administering federal law in their states.
Is it bedtime yet? Jeez. It's bad enough that the ruling party is changing all the rules to get away with murder; but the rules will change back to something closer to justice as soon as they lose an election. Our experiment in democracy is pretty much over. I'm not happy about it.

They have taken over and have no intention of letting go.
YOU LOST! GET OVER IT!
All of this fucking fucked-up fucking shit is how coups and civil wars start. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
If only cognitive dissonance could actually make peoples' heads explode...
ya cant bipartisan with fascists--have to defeat and remove the infestation...ask history (or herstory, your choice)
Fuck you, Chuck, with each and every one of the 293 days Merrick Garland was obstructed.
And a rusty Garden Weasel in a pear tree.
