Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has canceled the August recess. There's just too much work to do, he told his colleagues. They need to make headway on both legislation on key congressional races ahead of the midterms.


As you can see, McConnell blamed part of the congressional inaction on Democratic obstruction. For instance, Democratic senators' refusal (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/annatimmis/2017/07/11/democrats-wont-submit-blue-slips-to-judiciary-committee-stall-appointment-n2353456) to hand in their blue slips has stalled several of Trump's judicial nominees.


"With Democrats abusing the rules of the Senate to force virtually every single one of President Trump’s nominees into 30 hours of debate before getting a vote, we need our senators present in the Capitol. To prove that you are serious about stopping the Democrats’ obstruction and getting the peoples’ work done properly, you should also keep the Senate in Washington, DC through this weekend to vote on the president’s nominees, and start working full five-day workweeks, as most workers in America do.”....snip~

Good. But the senate can still block their actions pretty easily.

At least they will get Trumps nominations done. Which includes 10 more Circuit Judges.

About time the senators earn their paycheck. Maybe they'll actually get some work done this time around.

Generally the more they do, the more they take from us. I think they should be required to live in their own districts for at least six or even eight months a year subject to the same laws they impose on us.

Heck, they should live in their own districts to begin with. Some of them don't.

Mitch McConnell claiming the democrats do nothing moves hypocritical hyperbole into a realm unknown. Congressional government teat suckers are fun to watch.

I think that's a great idea! Maybe bring them down to earth for a change.

We should have a part time legislature. Elected office was never intended to be a career. I admire those who do a couple of terms and walk away.

Looks like it worked, as Schumer says the Demos will also work on Healthcare.


Oh and most know already the Demos have no chance at taking the Senate. Of course that is those into politics.
