Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: Senate Democrats need to play hardball
to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in December 2021. Conspiracy-mongering Sen. Ron Johnson first approved the nomination but changed his mind on the eve of the hearing when the nominee and his family were already in D.C.According to Sen. Johnson’s statement, he is withholding a blue slip on this nomination because Judge Pocan does not currently live in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
My office learned secondhand that Senator Johnson would prevent Mr. Pocan from going forward at 7:00 o’clock last night. Such a lack of communication is unacceptable and, frankly, disrespectful to the nominee and his family. However, the blue slip process remained. The Eastern District of Wisconsin still does not have a nominee.
