Democratic senators were quick to justify the retaliation effort, which is only getting started with less than 40 days until the Nov. 3 election.
“Because the Senate Republicans have no respect for the institution, we won’t have business as usual here in the Senate,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “Right now I think they're just trying to throw a wrench into anything we do,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune told reporters. “Obviously it's retribution for the decision on the court and they just want to be difficult. I don't know why. It doesn't make sense to me either to bring everybody back next week when we could finish this today.”When the Senate concludes its business for the day, it requires the consent of all 100 senators. Any one lawmaker can object to recessing.
One of these is a War Powers Resolution, which, if passed by the House, can be put to the Senate floor even by Democrats, who are in the minority. the most conservative Senate Democrat, is on board with Schumer’s initial effort. He was quick to justify Schumer’s use of the two-hour rule, which halted committee business last Tuesday.
They never forget to add hate for America
AT LEAST 3 REPUB SEN..ALREADY SAID THEY WILL VOTE NO.
YOU GO SCHUMER... ALLL FOR YOU
Disgusting group of politicians
. Republicans want to CONTROL YOUR Ideology Democrats want to PROTECT YOUR Democracy . Vote Country YOU want your FAMILY to LIVE IN .
Muck up?🤣
Instead : Creatively use it as a campaign backdrop. 2 words : KAMALA HARRIS Play nice and use it as a sales pitch. Don’t fight it. Instead - Spin it.
Many voters who have voted democrat have been walking away. The reason doesn't seem obvious at first glance. But, iv you spend any time on a liberal leaning topic you will get a first hand reason to consider why you've followed so deep into the
That is all Democrats ever do 😢
🤨🤨🤨
The Democrats tactics just lose them voters. They don't care if they divide or destroy individuals...or families.
Try to not look foolish or disrespectful of people with religious beliefs.
Nope, just call for a vote.
Cause Chucky forgot Obama tried it too. Is Obama evil as well?
Exactly why after we get Trump out of office I will un-register to vote again. Can’t stand political games from either side.
senatemajldr courierjournal heraldleader LWVKY Corrupt McConnell is pushing through a SCOTUS seat to END YOUR HEALTHCARE and coverage for pre existing conditions. He is trying to STEAL the presidential election. VoteHimOut YOUR voice matters not his! MoscowMitch Vote
Dems are irresponsible as ever! Grow up!
BE A TRUE PATRIOT & VOTE OUT ALL TRAITOR REPUBLICONS FOREVER. DUMP HITLER tRUMP AND NAZIS CRONIES. DEFEAT CRIMINAL AND CORRUPT REPUBLICONS FOREVER. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT ELECTIONS. FIX PANDEMICS, NOT ELECTIONS. FIX THE BROKEN ECONOMY, NOT ELECTIONS.
That who they are, But it will never work. 👎
Evil as Always 😡
Uhhh...President Trump will get his 3rd Supreme Court justice confirmed...that is reality, what the democRAT nut jobs dream up to interfere is just that, dreams...hope that doesn't hurt the Schumer's and the Pelosi's too much..
Of course they are. That's what Democrats do
Yea and to waste more of our hard earned tax monies on nonsense hearings,etc.Inexcusable.Wake up Americans don’t let them continue to squander our monies.realDonaldTrump USSupremeCourt foxandfriends CNN MSNBC SenateGOP SenateDems HouseGOP HouseDemocrats
Need payback if Democrats win in November
I like how Chuck looks like he’s going to enjoy the torture they’re going to exact on the GOP
The face of evil and misrepresentation and pure Marxist Communism is what is behind this picture.
Think Bork. His extreme opinion about privacy rights led six Republicans to vote against him.
It's time for us Dems to concede this round on the appointment of ACB. Repub tactics are unprincipled, but constitutional. Let's go high, when they go low. FOCUS on letting voters know that the way to address this partisan move is to put Dems in the House and Senate.
senators ask the scotus nominee Is Fish Meat ? Everybody agrees it is. It is the Flesh of an Animal Will some south american man living on a golden throne in rome tell her how to apply Law ?
Yes, because they’re pure Evil, anti-constitutionalists losers.
As they should 😘😉
And at the end of the day...it won't matter.
Expand the court period,no more mr nice
Yes. Raise Hell. NoSCOTUSVote
Say it loud == “Justice Barrett”
Cause they’re insane.
Washington Generals
No surprise, it was all for show. Democrats leadership is weak. This was just talk about fighting. 2016, all over again.
Dirty republicans! Trump destroyed Republican Party and MCconell help him.
More obstruction.
.. and even with all this DEM. CRAP, there are NO GUARANTEES that the newly nominated Justice will SIDE ‘CONSERVATIVELY’..! Justice Kavanaugh hasn’t always! Chief Justice Stevens, CERTAINLY, hasn’t AT ALL ! So, it’s ALL, ‘D.D.C.’! : ‘DISRUPTIVE DEMOCRATIC CRAP’! for NOTHING !
Why aren't they LIVE FACT CHECKING the TUES DEBATE? Trump should be called out for his lies in real time!
Dem $ raising being RICO and Code 18 illegal and can be seized as top lawyers & legal scholars studying this. IMHO, the Dem Party will be extinct in due course as many flee to Rep Party, a few to Socialist/Communist ineffectual minority party.
Evil.
So...like everything else in the last 4 years?
Good Cole's chucky boy.. he is a creepy old dude that should retire
Schumer and the other socialist have already made the last 4 years as painful as possible. They've spent the last 4 years trying to prove they are morally superior with lies, division and hate while doing absolutely nothing for the Americans that elected them.
Dens are dickheads 🤢
Satan in his Human suit...............🙄
We desperately need a law in the future to ensure this won’t happen again so close to an election.
Let’s hope Republican Senators at the confirmation hearing resist the urge to grandstand and instead make a 20-second statement supporting Barrett’s qualifications for the Court then yield the rest of their time.
With riots in our cities and dirty tactics, who do they think they're helping?
Schemer can try, the Republicans control the Senate and have the votes just by themselves
They could stop it if they had the spines and the stomachs for a fight.
Good
The joker smile - they’re up to no good and going to put AmyConeyBarrett and her family through hell and back. It’s disgusting!
What are you smoking? The Dems will cave, go along like meek sheep, and not do anything their donors wouldn't like. They always have and always will because they play the PR part of the loyal opposition. Their leadership is corrupt, hard-hearted, and silly.
McConnell hasn’t stopped confirming judges nor has he passed the HEROS bill. They gave the ppl $1300 & forgot abt them. There is no way that this should be easy for Republicans based on the last 12yrs of actions by them.
Awwwwww sht! Watch them hit them hard with their strongly worded letters!!! I bet even some Republicans are going to get in on the action with some extreme concern and troubled sentiments!!! It’s on now!!!
All do nothing jerks! Ppl should wake up vote all out!
We need the Dems to not be pushovers all the time.
I am sure it will be so painful that it will make Republicans cry.
My name is Chuck and I don’t give a *uck
45 is SO stupid to give the GOP its prized SCOTUS supermajority *prior* to the election. McConnell goaded him into wasting the only remaining reason for true conservatives and evangelicals to re-elect him. They can now either vote for Biden or just sit this one out! THANKS MITCH!
I could care less how 'painful' they make it....but the better have a fix for it next summer. Vast majorities of America want something done on health care, voting rights, civil rights, guns, reproductive rights, campaign finance...and a 6-3 Supreme Court isn't going to work.
Imagine being apart of a party whom only thoughts are of murdering innocent unborn children ! Imagine planning & staging harmful lies against another human just so you can murder your own child.
Good luck with that.
It should be painful but not to distract the public from health care and COVID and over 200,000 deaths.
Good. The GOP has dragged their feet and blocked every critical piece of legislation to make it to the Senate in 6+ years. They don't get to suddenly shift into gear and rush through a SCOTUS nominee (who happens to be a member of a deranged cult) in record time.
Good. Painful as possible.
Yes, they actually can stop it. They can impeach Barr or shit down the government. Which is exactly what they should do.
A temper Tantrum is the response.....glad we have a 'functional' government.
Schumer is an ass anyway. Term limits....
They aren’t writing more strongly worded letters, are they?
SpeakerPelosi Impeach Bill Barr
Scalia’s seat was not filled for 387 days, because Republicans abuse power Ginsburg’s seat will be filled in less than 42 days because Republicans abuse power
The confirmation isn't a battle we are going to win. But pushing her seating until well after the election would be a big win.
Dems being Dems.
How did we get to the point where one man, Mitch McConnell, decides everything that does or doesn't happen?
