President <strong data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"400\">Donald Trump<\/strong> has criticized Judiciary Committee Chairman <strong data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"472\">Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)<\/strong> for maintaining the Senate\u2019s \u201cblue slip\u201d tradition, which lets home-state senators block nominees by withholding approval. GOP lawmakers are reviewing several proposals ahead of a Wednesday meeting to accelerate confirmations. According to <em data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"723\">The Hill<\/em>, the leading plan mirrors a Democratic proposal from two years ago allowing a single vote on up to 10 nominees at once. Other options include cutting debate time, limiting procedural votes, and making some nominations nondebatable. Because rule changes require only a simple majority, Republicans could act alone\u2014though such a \u201cnuclear option\u201d would highlight partisan divisions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1900\">Sen. <strong data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1136\">Katie Britt (R-Ala.)<\/strong>, who leads a GOP working group on the issue, said members have been meeting through the August recess to finalize reforms. \u201cEverybody has been talking through various options,\u201d Britt said. \u201cOne of the things that that process does is empower the committee process.\u201d The debate follows weeks of gridlock as Democrats demand roll-call votes on nearly every nominee. Majority Leader <strong data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1540\">John Thune (R-S.D.)<\/strong> kept the Senate in session over a weekend to advance stalled confirmations, urging cooperation between the White House and Minority Leader <strong data-start=\"1680\" data-end=\"1706\">Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)<\/strong>. However, negotiations collapsed after Schumer reportedly demanded $1 billion in federal funds and assurances against future spending cuts\u2014terms Trump angrily rejected in a Truth Social post.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1902\" data-end=\"2336\">Despite limited progress, the Senate confirmed <strong data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"1966\">Jeanine Pirro<\/strong>, Trump\u2019s pick for Washington D.C.\u2019s top prosecutor, before leaving for August recess. In total, lawmakers approved just seven of Trump\u2019s more than 150 pending nominees. \u201cNot a single one of President Trump\u2019s nominees has been confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent,\u201d said <strong data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2276\">Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.)<\/strong>. \u201cEven the most routine nominees are being filibustered.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Republicans Consider Rule Changes to Speed Up Judicial Confirmations Senate Republicans are weighing changes to the chamber\u2019s confirmation process as they face a growing backlog of&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
