Roll Call ^ | 04/22/2015 | Steven Davis

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set up a Thursday cloture vote on Loretta Lynch’s nomination to be attorney general after breaking a logjam over amendments to the human trafficking bill.

How about setting up an INVESTIGATION OF THE
IRS Abuse of conservatives by McCain and Obama?

How about removing ObamaCARE, like the lying RINOs
promised?

An obvious strategy for the GOP (make that the GOPe) “Leadership” would be to schedule votes as follows:

1. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
2. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
3. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
4. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
5. The Lynch vote.

Apparently this is just too, too, too difficult.
