President Donald Trump is once again upping the pressure on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to do away with a century-old Senate tradition that places some constraints on the president's authority to appoint judicial nominees.

President Donald Trump renewed his demand for the Senate's "blue slip" tradition to be done away with and urged Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley to tell Democrats to "go to HELL."

President Trump is escalating his criticism of Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for his unwillingness to overhaul the “blue slip,” a move that has further dismayed Senate Republicans.
