In the past two years, votes on some of Biden's more contested judicial nominees would deadlock in committee votes, requiring more procedural steps that ate up valuable Senate floor time.

Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a committee member, said Biden's picks were"very, very left, but unapologetically so." He said Durbin's assertions about Republicans were “absurd.” For instance, Republican Sen.

Durbin has said he would reconsider the current “blue slip” practice if he sees systematic abuse by senators, especially based on a nominee's race, gender or sexual orientation.
