On party-line vote, Senate Republicans fill oldest appellate vacancy in US (WI seat on 7th Circuit). They did so by ending “blue slip” veto for home-state senators, a power that had made it possible for Republicans to block Obama nominee for same seat. https://t.co/ZtPFw8yLuq

Not only that, the guy who was just confirmed to fill the seat—without having a blue slip—applauded the use of the blue slip to keep that seat vacant during the Obama years. https://t.co/LooGaVFExd
