I am just so sick and tired of the Republicans screwing Dems over and the Dems just meekly saying that was not nice and doing nothing more. According to a Politico article from earlier today, the Democrats are not moving forward 40 judicial nominees in red states because the Republican senators from those states have refused to give “blue slips” giving seals of approval for the nominees. The Republicans did not honor the blue slip system when Trump was president, so why in the hell are Biden, Durbin and the Democrats honoring them? A bunch of spineless wimps — just like on the Supreme Court. No wonder the Republicans have managed to take so much power — the Dems are, as a party, just spineless. If we are to stop this tide of fascism the Republicans are hellbent on unleashing, we need Dems who are willing to dish it right back at the pricks , not turn the other cheek!
