I have a theoretical question. Could the Republican majority skip ALL vacations (Thanksgiving and Christmas) and pass everything their heart desires and confirm conservatives to fill every court vacancy? That would be a very Biblical “Eye for an Eye” after what the dems put the Kavanaugh family and so many others whose lives and reputations suffered through what happened with the Kavanaugh hearings.
But, according to St Hillary, to disagree with an election result threatens “democracy “!!
President Trump and Leader McConnell should demand Senate remain in town until all pending nominations are confirmed. Maybe approve them via single and simple up/down voice vote on all of them? Clear the backlog, everyone can then go home, campaign, and say whatever they want.
My understanding is that the senate has to go into recess in December. This will be the first opportunity that Trump has had to make recess appointments because the turtle would not put the senate in recess. Now the turtle has no choice. I hope Trump has a plan to make the most of it.
Yep. Particularly with so many Democrats in Red States locked in tight election battles, the Turtle should not give the Senate ANY time off. Force the Democrats to choose between more obstructing or rolling over and letting the nominees sail through in exchange for being able to campaign to keep their jobs.
