[Eric in the Ozarks]

Dock their pay.

[D Rider]

Time to institute Rides rules. Go nuclear!

[Vaduz]

Guess who’s begging not to lose the 2018 elections gearing up for another huge smoke screen the have proved their worth and honesty all dangerous.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Democrats have done this before. IIRC, the Dems in Wisconsin and Texas left their states in order to avoid votes.

[Principled]

they can change that rule, can’t they?!

[VRWCarea51]

Looks like the pricks are doing the same thing To Sessions Hearing. The room is empty of Rats waiting to resume when they come back.

Oh nope. They are back. But Chuckie the clown just invoked some 2 hour rule that pushes the vote out of Committee to Tomorrow.

ANYONE want to bet they don’t show tomorrow to get a quorum to vote?

Freaking Commies!

[piytar]

That’s a brilliant idea! Hope some Trump admin lurker sees it!!!

[RegulatorCountry]

Equal protection clause?

[Texas Fossil]

Make a deal with Manchin from WV.

[AbolishCSEU]

Cryin’ Chucky just disconnects your call and puts it on busy

[Oshkalaboomboom]

There must be SOME actions they can take with no Dems present

Could McConnell put the Senate into recess for an hour, let Trump make recess appointments for every remaining Cabinet member then bring the Senate back into session?

[Ramcat]

“Just have one Republican temporarily switch his Voter Registration to Democrat and get the Vote over.”

The Dem leadership would then remove the changing senator from the committee.

[Texas Fossil]

Oops. forgot, he’s in House not Senate.

[Pietro]

McConnell is being suspiciously silent throughout this process.

He needs to step up and end this silliness

Now.

[pnz1]

McConnell probably needs to be summoned to the Oval Office for a meeting..

[Ramcat]

Citizens need to target Casey (PA) who’s on the finance committee. Even though I can’t think of a viable Republican who could defeat him, he’s stupid enough to think he’s vulnerable.

[SgtHooper]

Have a GOPe RINO change parties, and attend. Problem solved.

[Wiser now]

I just took the time to send emails to both of my Senators telling them I want the nominees approved and sworn in now, because I am tired of the Democrats obstructionism.
All Freepers need to do the same. ASAP
