You can’t understand the judicial-confirmation process if you don’t understand the rules governing the process, so it’s disappointing to see this otherwise informative Washington Post article yesterday assert that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell “did away with ‘blue slips,’ which allowed senators to contest judicial nominees from their home states.” Advertisement Advertisement The largest error
