Senate Democrats are looking to pressure the GOP on a key judicial nominee, warning a Tuesday vote amounts to a test of Senate Republicans’ commitment to protecting health care for individuals with pre-existing conditions

.

Chad Readler, who President Donald Trump nominated to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, has come under fire from Democrats for signing a brief during his time at the Trump Justice Department that supported a lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer noted Tuesday that he was nominated the day after signing the brief.

“It seemed like they were saying ‘Chad, you did a good job taking away people’s health care,’” Schumer said at a press conference. “Every Republican will be forced to show the American people whether or not they stand for protecting pre-existing conditions.” The Senate will vote Tuesday afternoon on whether to invoke cloture on Readler’s nomination. A simple majority is required, so Republicans can afford to lose three members.

So far, only Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has said she would join Democrats and vote against Readler's nomination.

Democrats Adopt GOP Strategy in Fight for Trump Probe InformationRepublicans in recent years have gained access to information long considered too sensitive to share with Congress. Now that House Democrats are in charge, the tables are turning as party lawmakers embark on wide-ranging inquiries into the president and his administration. The difference between Dems and GOP: Dems are conducting a REAL investigation, not the crap that GOP was doing with 4 years of Benghazi. . I told the Dems. a while back when Trump was Twelve he gave my neighbor a jelly doughnut to see her tits. Take him down.

Democrats are on a fraudulent fishing expedition.
