Durbin on Senate blue slips: ‘I think it can be misused’

Описание: “I support the blue slip process. But I’ve said to the Republicans that unless they engage in this process in good faith, I’m not going to be held to that standard … In history, the blue slip process has been used for nefarious purposes from my point of view … I think it can misused. I’ve said I’ll stand by using the blue slip for purposes of discrimination based on race or gender or sexual orientation. But I support the blue slip as long as it’s done on a bipartisan basis.” - Sen. Richard Durbin (D- Ill.)
