Does Schumer have McCain, Graham, and Collins in his pocket to delay for more dealing over the weekend?

Grandstanding trying to whitewash the history of their own actions and announcements to get their ‘grievances’ on the record.

Oops! I said “I hope the RATS don’t go for it”... well, of course I meant I hope the Republicans don’t go for it. I guess it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between the two...

What are they voting on now at Chuckie’s request?

To delay the cloture vote until April 24th.

-- Is Schumer grandstanding or is he trying to pull a fast one? --

This is all scripted. Schumer introduces a new question, this one on a motion to postpone further voting util April 24th.

The Senate is approximately cordial, and there is no harm in giving Schumer the floor to make his argument.

The "revote" of the failed cloture motion has not been taken, and there is no rule about the interval between first vote and reconsidered vote; only that a motion to reconsider must be entered within a day or two.

Haha, Schumer wants to postpone the vote so the senators can “come together” to agree to the Rats’ demands for a leftist judge.

Just go nuclear and shut him down already!

Next week, the supremes announce what cases they will hear. Schmukie wants 4-4 to decide agenda.

I didn't know that this motion to delay was scripted, too.

I naturally distrust anything that gives the Democrats more time to scheme, the MSM more time to pressure, and Republicans more time to cave.

Schumer is, IMHO, just stalling. Or at least trying to.

They'll probably vote to take a six month vacation.

No downside to that, as long as Gorsuch is confirmed first.

I can’t stand listening to them read these rats names on the floor of the Senate. You can’t hear their votes though.

Yep, it is the Reid option. Why do the Reps call it the nuclear option? I can understand why the Dems and MSM do it, but the Reps should call it what it really is, the Reid option.
