part of me thinks....vote on them now, while we have control of the Senate

part of me knows.....some Republicans want to run on judges because it won in ‘16

Our Nation is currently in a State of Political chaos.  The political parties have become blurred.

The article says there are 163 vacant seats. Toward the end of the last congressional session, McConnell really stepped up the pace. If he makes the same priorities now, two years would be just about right. It's not like the senate will be doing much voting on anything else.

McConnell's "stepping up the pace" was temporary.  He used the end of the session against the Democrats.  "Get this done, or nobody is going home to campaign for the 2018 election".  It worked, but that play has been called.  It is now back to business as usual, stall and delay.  McConnell could stop the Bull Schit permanently by rescinding the Blue Slip Rule, but he refuses.

Hmmm. I've not seen where he re-instated the blue slip deference. It was first changed in the fall of '17 and then Grassley seems to have gotten involved in the spring of last year. Now that Graham runs the Judicial Committee, I would believe the faster process will still be in place. Also, the fact that Trump submitted the same nominees for the 9th Circuit as before (against Feinstein's wishes) adds to my belief. That was part of the blue slip tradition.

I guess we'll see how it plays out.

These are the same judges that were nominated the last session and are being renominated for the new Senate being seated.  Hopefully they will get a move on and get them approved.

Maybe he can threaten to shut down the government if they aren't approved. Oh, wait, never mind.

From the story;

Missing from the list of re-nominated judges, for now, were three conservatives the White House has said it will install on the Ninth Circuit without first seeking what's known as a "blue slip," or an opinion, from California senators Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Harris

the Blue Slip nominees were not re-nominated

So as far as I can tell the Blue Slip is just an opinion from the senators from the state the justice comes from. 

Yeah.  I don't see Feinstien or Harris blue slipping anyone.

Drive on to the objective, Mr. President.

The article you list is from last Oct. Here's a newer one from today:

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2019/01/23/president-trump-just-sent-a-boatload-of-judicial-nominations-to-the-senate-n2539892

 

So I see two nominees to the 9th Circuit.

1) Bridget S. Bade. She was nominated last year and seems to be nominated again.

2) Eric D. Miller. Likewise, he was nominated last year and has been re-submitted.

The story is from Tuesday, not October. why would he renominates judges last October

The headline itself says clearly; White House announces 51 judicial picks, including two for liberal 9th Circuit

(that would be Miller and Bade)

This also;

including two on the mostly liberal San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which President Trump has often derided as "disgraceful" and politically biased.

Would be Miller and Bade

 

This;

is not Miller and Bade

 

this is from October;

But in a snub to California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, the White House announced Wednesday that Trump had nominated Patrick Bumatay, Daniel Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee (all from the Golden State, and reportedly all members of the conservative Federalist Society) to the influential circuit. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-snubs-feinstein-harris-to-nominate-conservative-judges-to-liberal-9th-circuit

 

that he said he was nominating over the heads of Feinstein and Harris. He did not, they are not there. And he has not renominated them.

Not going over the heads of Feinstein or Harris.

its called a cave, backing down, or.....losing
