    Senate Democrats Plan to Boycott Amy Coney Barrett Committee Vote......

    The GOP has the votes. She will be confirmed. It’s only a matter of time, but not before Senate Democrats try and boycott the committee vote tomorrow (via Huffington Post) [emphasis mine]:


    Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee plan to boycott Thursday’s committee vote on Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination as a protest against Republican efforts to rush her through before the election.
    The plan hasn’t been finalized yet, according to a Democratic aide, but Democrats are preparing to fill their empty seats with poster-sized photos of people who would be hurt by Barrett potentially casting a deciding vote against the Affordable Care Act. These would be the same pictures of people Democrats had on display during Barrett’s confirmation hearing last week.Democrats also intend to hold two press conferences to push back on Barrett’s confirmation ? one on the Capitol steps and one on the Supreme Court steps. They will go to one or both of these pressers during the committee vote, according to the Democratic aide.The offices of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) declined to comment.A boycott will delight progressives, who have been clamoring for a big fight by Democrats over Barrett’s confirmation. It won’t stop Republicans from advancing Barrett’s nomination, though.


    That’s the ballgame. In reality, this game was over before it began. There was never going to be a robust opposition. Judge Barrett’s nomination was never in danger. We had the votes. Elections have consequences.....snip~

    Um, kind of stupid. Just show up and vote against it. The result would be the same but at least your in your seat doing your job.

    Chuck Schummer put forth a motion on the Senate floor yesterday to adjourn the Senate until Nov 9th. Apparently Chuckie is not in love with Nancy anymore who claims she is trying to get Covid relief bill done by Friday. Oops.

    they've got so many false agendas going on they can't keep them straight anymore. Nancy went on Bloomberg to offer a false hope to the people suffering, while Chuckie picked up his toys and went home.

    Its funny because we can see it, they know we can see it-but they can't admit it.
