You would have to wait until these are done because they can't sustain it.
So you have to wait them out.
And as soon as they cannot speak any longer, you can put the question.
Merry Christmas, Vince.
Thanks for having me.
You know, I think so mostly because I've never understood, after you've nuked the filibuster on the executive calendar, so you've gotten rid of the filibuster for all categories of nominations from cabinet officials to the Supreme Court, judges up and down the ledger,
Yet you are going to die on the hill of preserving the blue slip, which isn't even in the Senate rules.
It's a custom.
It's a tradition.
It's never made any sense to me.
The only way I think you could defend the blue slip is if you still had the filibuster.
But you've gotten rid of all minority rights on the executive side for nominations and things like that.
So why do you still have the blue slip?
It's made no sense to me.
But Senate Republicans and even some Democrats continue to defend it, which again, you've already nuked the filibuster.
Why are you dying on the hill of this tradition, this custom where Democrats are using it now to actually stymie the Trump agenda?
If you want accountability for everything that's happened, if you want accountability for Arctic Frost, for Jack Smith, for all this stuff, you have to have U.S.
attorneys that are being blocked by the blue slip process.
Yeah, I actually agree with that critique on the legislative side when you're talking about the legislative filibuster.
I think it's a strategic question.
