Didn't see this discussed yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/...m_term=.354ffc5f73b1

I can't find the original article I read, but it said that Trump is looking at appointing nearly 40 judges, and that, not only did the senate make it easier to confirm them by ignoring dem 'blue slips', but the dem's 2013 move to end filibusters on judicial nominees is backfiring on them.

The 'blue slip' move may backfire on the pubs if the dems ever get their act together and get control of the senate again, but it looks like smooth sailing for Trump in the mean time.
