Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This project examines the origins and impact of the “blue slip” procedure—the practice of the Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC) that solicits the views of home state senators during the confirmation process for judicial nominees. Although senatorial courtesy has historically involved deference to home state senators from the president’s party, blue slips are extended to home state senators regardless of party. Because “negative” blue slips typically block nominees from moving through the committee, creation of the blue slip by the Judiciary Committee in effect undercut the unilateral power of the president and his party to select federal judges. Why and when did the SJC create the blue slip? And with what impact on the selection of federal judges? In this paper, I suggest alternative explanations for the origins of the blue slip and use archival records from the Judiciary Committee to pinpoint the invention and early impact of the blue slip. My results suggest that the return to power of Democrats in the early 20th century precipitated southern Democrats’ efforts to institutionalize local and regional bias into the selection of federal judges—with lasting consequence for both the politics of advice and consent and the shape of the federal bench.
