Trump vows lawsuits against California redistricting, blue slips

(The Hill) President Trump during a winding press event Monday at the White House vowed to file lawsuits against California over its plan to redraw the state’s congressional lines and against the use of blue slips in the Senate.

The president told reporters a lawsuit will be filed “soon” after California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature formally approved Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-Calif.) plan Thursday to redraw the state’s congressional lines, setting it up to appear on the ballot in November.

“I think I’m going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon, and I think we’re going to be very successful in it. We’re going to [be] filing it through the Department of Justice, that’s going to happen,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

He added that he wants to address blue slipping, a practice that allows home-state senators to veto nominees to district courts and U.S. attorneys’ offices.
