    McConnell sends warning over nomination votes ......

    Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hinted Monday that he's willing to keep the Senate in town through Friday, or even into the weekend, as Republicans work to confirm a slate of President Trump's nominees.

    "We have a number of nominees to consider in the next several days. ...The Senate's workweek will not end until all of these amply qualified nominees are confirmed," McConnell said from the Senate floor.


    Before leaving for the two-week recess that just ended, the GOP leader teed up six nominations. The Senate took up an initial vote on the first in the series, Claria Boom to be a U.S. district judge, on Monday evening.


    A final vote is set for Tuesday. The Senate will then take an initial vote on a National Labor Relations Board nominee......snip~

    McConnell did this before.....forget sending a warning to the Demos. Just force the Senate to work weekends. Then the Demos will do the Right thing. McConnell should have been doing this all along knowing the Demos were doing everything they could to hold up nominees.
    History does not long Entrust the care of Freedom, to the Weak or Timid!!!!! Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

    I would take it more seriously if McConnell had a history of showing some backbone.

    The Mouse of the Senate. Hear him roar.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
