Republicans did away with honoring the "blue slip" tradition for Circuit Court level appointments infuriating Dems during Trumps run. They didnt do away with it for District Court nominees.
There is a District Court opening in Wisconsin.
Sen Johnson (R-Wis) and Sen Baldwin (D-Wis) both recommended Judge Pocan for the spot.
8 months later, now Sen Johnson says he will object and the Dems say they will "honor" his blue slip objection.

Pretty shitty move by Johnson. Im glad the Dems have changed any rules like we have seen every regime change now ... but fuck Johnson. No way McConnell wouldnt have just gone forward with the confirmation.
