The Senate Democratic leader plans to demand answers on Qatari influence in the United States and call for testimony from the attorney general.

For the most part, nominees aren’t subject to filibuster; the most that the Democrats can do is to slow the pace of approvals to a crawl, which they should have been doing from day 1. Next best time to do it for every nominee is today.

    That…and a sternly written letter

    Edit: also, that’s bullshit, because -correct me if I’m wrong, but it always seems like the Rs, when in the Minority, always seem to have some magical procedure that shits the whole thing down…and it only takes one.

    Tommy Tuberville comes to mind stopping all the military promotions because his panties were in a twist.

    Democrats are the Party of Complicity.

      They did do things to gum up the Senate, which is exactly the kind of thing you’re describing. Schumer is saying he’s going to. And I appreciate that, even if he didn’t do it before.

        The issue I have with the old dog is that he TELLS YOU… the Rs just designate some asshole and everyone throws up their hands …
