Summary:The post calls for Senator Chuck Grassley to unilaterally end the 'Blue Slip' custom in the U.S. Senate, arguing it is a 'hoax' and 'scam' that prevents the appointment of highly qualified Republican judges and U.S. Attorneys, especially in high-crime states. It alleges that Democrats have previously broken this custom and urges Grassley to follow suit immediately to avoid being perceived as weak.
Sentiment:Directive
Key Claims:
- Chuck Grassley was re-elected to the U.S. Senate due to the speaker's efforts, overcoming a significant deficit.
- Senator Grassley possesses the power to resolve the 'Blue Slip' problem, which impedes the appointment of qualified judges and U.S. Attorneys.
- Democrats, specifically naming Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, and Schiff, are labeled 'SLEAZEBAGS' and are accused of using the 'Blue Slip' custom to block Republican nominees.
- The 'Blue Slip' custom, described as ancient and possibly unconstitutional, prevents the President from appointing preferred candidates if a single Senator from the opposing party withholds consent.
- This 'Hoax' custom forces the appointment of either a Democrat or a 'weak and ineffective Republican'.
- The inability to appoint 'Great Judges or U.S. Attorneys' is particularly detrimental to states like California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Virginia, which are characterized as having high levels of crime and corruption.
- Senator Grassley should break the 'Blue Slip' custom, citing instances where 'Crooked Joe Biden' and others have done so in the past.
- Democrats have previously disregarded this custom against Republicans, and it is time for Republicans to do the same.
- Grassley should act 'IMMEDIATELY' to prevent Democrats from viewing him and the Republican Party as weak and ineffective.
