Republican senator says GOP-led Senate has done 'nothing' except confirm Trump judges

Republican Senator John Kennedy expressed frustration Wednesday that aside from confirming judges, the GOP-led Senate has done"nothing."

The senator from Louisiana also reserved criticism for House Democrats, who he said were guilty of passing bills they knew had no chance of passing in the Senate. He also accused them of "harassing" the president. GovTrack, a website that monitors the legislature, said that the current Congress has enacted just 17 laws since taking office in January. The 116th Congress started slowly amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. With Democrats controlling the House and Republicans controlling the Senate, the 116th legislature has displayed biting partisanship.

Resign

If confirming real law abiding judges that do not legislate & rewrite the constitution from the bench is nothing then full steam ahead GOP. Obama’s lawlessness is leaving America & that is good news for all Americans.

SenJohnKennedy , now this is the truth. Remember Merrick Garland? I see where he has been in the news lately. Things that make you go hum.

We know, we know. Nothing but obstruct.

And that's for 10 years

Duh!

Of course they haven’t. Thank senatemajldr for that. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻sarcasm corruptGop corruptAF

that's plenty of damage.

Wonderful

... and who is conducting a coup?

obstruction

That would be true, a red letter day for Republicans.

True

If all the Senate is gonna do is have GOP policies then confirming Trump judges is more then enough

Seems to be one big pissing contest between sides in Congress. Hope there’s an awakening / reckoning in the near future. Both in voters and in the quality members of Congress

That’s enough harm for 50 years

magnidoddle Look at Andy Gump with no teeth in his mouth.

Confirming judges that will protect the constitution is the most important responsibility that congress has

Who knew? 🙄 Harming our country for generations to come. Every appointment under Trump should be null and void.

Newsweek: Trump can't anything else passed because the demos; this will soon change🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸/-.-./R

They have 2 years of catch up to do. Democrats halted all progress in the Senate for 2 years because they lost in 2016. These appointments have been waiting for 2 years for approval. The Senate has passed 54 pieces of legislation since January.

Well, maybe he should try leading?

That’s the truth. You have done nothing. Losers

They are too busy protecting the impossible 45.

Well yeah, that’s McConnell’s plan.

Says one of the senators that chose to spend last 4th of July in Russia.

Republican senator says GOP-led Senate has done 'nothing' except for the hostile Trump Corp. takeover of the Judicial branch.

That's not true. They've also blocked pro cannabis legalization legislation at every turn

Wonder if it has occurred to Senator Kennedy that the reason the Senate has accomplished very little is because of Trump and his absence of any coherent policy.

And for so long, I wasn’t a fan of Senator Kennedy! Now maybe (just maybe!) I am!

It would be a asset to the country if y’all would bring the BILL TO SECURE OUR ELECTIONS ONTO THE FLOOR!! SCREW MITCH!!

They also provided cover and thoroughly kissed trumps ass

That and kiss Trump’s ass.

Yes we know!

Talk about building a wall in our judicial system!..

RussiaNRAGOPFascist Judges

I thought that was their plan.

The radical 116th Congressional accomplishments-

Hmmm a no shit moment

WONDERFUL JOB SENATORS FROM THE MAJORITY. OH SO WONDERFUL. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN JESUS NAME AMEN

And obstruct.. Don't forget that.

That wasn’t a secret to anyone paying attention...

. Kennedy and his ilk are the reasons the republicans are despised for doing nothing for the U.S. ALL their actions are to protect and support a criminal that, somehow, got elected. SHAMEONREPUBLICANS .

*whom

And water is wet.

A Judge a Day keeps Justice Away.

GOP=GobblingOrangePoop

I agree do something

We know and obstruct all things geared to help average citizens...

Yep.

This doesn’t happen if you are just confirming judges.

Agreed. Do something then?
