Cernovich made the point I suspect Harmeet might have made (or was vaguely alluding to in her response to me “having no idea of federal criminal procedure”).

Very succinctly put, the “blue slip” process is the process by which state senators approve of federal judicial nominees. if they approve, they send back the approval on a blue slip. it basically gives a veto power to state senators as relates to federal judicial nominees.

It’s not a law. It’s a practice that Grassley does not want to renounce or discard.

Trump has mentioned it a few times. In early December, and over the summer. it seems to be resurfacing now as the explanation for which there have been no deep state arrests.

I wonder if Harmeet is going to get mad at Cernovich as well! 😂 the blue slip theory is predicated on the unsatisfactory progress in terms of deep state arrests.

The point I made to Cernovich, and I hope we can discuss it - is that it highlights the problem.

On the one hand, the Trump administration is not bypassing the corrupt jurisdictions to bring indictments in more favorable jurisdiction.

On the other hand, they can’t get through their own appointments to de-corrupt the corrupt jurisdictions.

And finally, they’re not even firing the corrupt elements within the DOJ (e.g. Jocelyn Ballentine).

I don’t know what can be done at this point, and how long it would take. But even assuming Cernovich is right, and I believe he is at least with respect to judicial nominees, time is fast running out to bring about the required reform to preserve the Republic.

thought complete.
