Schumer is a real Ahole, but McConnell should have put a stop to this many months ago.
The “Democratic” Party does NOT like democracy.
Need to change the rule to 3 hours. Mini-Nuke.
Once the Republicans are in control of the Senate this delay can be done away with.
Until then Chuck Schumer will keep an iron fist on things.
surely there are skeletons in his closet, too
Keep ‘em in session 24 hours a day, six days a week, and see what happens?
Honestly except for judges, if a position is empty for 8 weeks, is it needed? I say get rid of the positions that can do done with those left in the department.
The Republicans could adjourn congress for three days and Trump would be able to fill all positions immediately with recess apointments. I do not understand why they have not already done this. The recess appointment step was added to deal with obstuctionist congresses.
Mitch McConnell is an unindicted coconspirator.
The Senators have selfishly granted themselves powers never intended in the Constitution’s delegation of “advice and consent” responsibilities to the whole body of the Senate. That was power intended for the whole Senate in its joint and collective activity. The Senators have over the history of their body devolved that collective power to a power individual Senators can hold, even against a majority collective mind of the Senate. Too many things are prevented from consideration NOT because a simple “representative” vote decrees it, but a single Senator has means to block it. That is not “representative” government nor the use of “advice and consent” the Constitution anticipated - it is an abuse of that power the Constitution gave the Senate.
How funny! lol
