Durbin under fire for letting GOP Senate minority veto Biden judges
the Democratic chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee is facing intense criticism for
preserving a tradition that is allowing Republicans to veto judges nominated by President Joe Biden.
The so-called "blue slip courtesy" is a nonbinding Senate norm that allows lawmakers to reject nominees for court seats in their home states.
Republicans didn't hesitate to dispense with the informal rule
when they were ramming through far-right judges at a torrid pace during former President Donald Trump's four years in office,
Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.) has chosen to adhere to the blue slip norm for district court nominees.
