10. No knowledge, but I think Biden, a traditionalist, may have honored the blue card rule

Close, reading the article Vance and Brown could not agree on a nominee so none was nominated.

Waiting on Vance to OK a nom. It really is viewing institutionalism as a suicide pact innit?

14. That was one of the good things about having Dem senators in red states.

At the very least, it stops the Republican senator from sending an insane pick for a judge.

18. GOOD! ANYTHING that interferes with the donald's agenda is a good thing.

One less judicial opening for the Orange Turd to own and fuck with.

Thank heavens for small favors.

19. This is great news!

I think once dump takes office, there will be plenty more true patriots who believe in democracy who’ll step up and cause tfg a lot of problems. I don’t think it’ll be smooth sailing for him at all.

21. From the article linked in the "X"

In October 2023, Judge Algenon Marbley of the Southern District of Ohio announced his intention to assume senior status upon the confirmation of his successor. The White House never nominated someone to fill Marbley's seat, however. Senators Sherrod Brown and J.D. Vance could not agree on a suitable replacement, so no pick was named.

This slot was in OH and there is a "tradition" in the Senate for what they call a "Blue Slip" - which is basically where the Senators from the same state would "sign" for their approval or disapproval of a nominee from their state, since the Senate has the role to "advise and consent" to a President's nominees. And in the case of OH - VANCE.

This is an example of a "Blue Slip" -
