Republicans on Monday night stalled a move by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to close down the Senate until after the presidential election as the body's top Democrat continues to protest the effort to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before the end of the month.
The vote on a motion to adjourn, forced by Schumer, D-N.Y., followed another roll call vote in which Schumer forced the Senate to consider the Trump administration's softening of a banking regulation regarding low-income borrowers. Republicans expect more such procedural roadblocks from Schumer as the Senate gets closer to confirming Barrett, likely early-to-mid-next week.
"Because our Republican colleagues have made such a mockery of the Supreme Court confirmation process, we are not going to have business as usual here in the Senate," Schumer said Monday. "Tonight I will move to bring up a vote under the Congressional Review Act and force Action on a resolution to undo the Trump administration's gutting ... of the Community Reinvestment Act."

Where’s my check, dipstick!!!!
OK so let’s git ‘er done, seat Amy, and have her cast the 5th. vote to stop the theft of Pennsylvania’s EVs.
Obviously Chuck Schumer hates women.
I was worried about some of the RINO’s in the Senate backing Schumer.
The hearings are over.
Get on with the vote and get her seated!
Take the damn VOTE!!
“Because our Republican colleagues have made such a mockery of the Supreme Court confirmation process, we are not going to have business as usual here in the Senate,” Schumer said Monday.
This is laugh out loud funny, coming from the leader of the party which made such a mockery of the Supreme Court confirmation process with Kavanaugh’s nomination.
If the criteria are perceptions of making a mockery of the process, I think the Democrats win that dubious award.
Chuck is surrounded by unattractive women and is insanely jealous of Trump who is surrounded by beautiful women- in my opinion.
Yes, it truly is.
The Rats have a short memory and no shame.
If Mitch has the votes, then chuckles and hid pals can go home. I sent both my useless demo senators correspondence telling them to do their job and vote to confirm Judge Barrett. So far, crickets......... Apparently the two female senators ain’t into wymuns rights so much after all. Weird huh?
NEXT WEEK??????
“Confirmation Effort”
Oh, is THAT what it’s called?
That’s why the vote isn’t slated until the 26th, because it’s an “effort”?
Geeezz! Don’t pull a muscle, Yertle!
If the Senate closes down until the election is over it could be adjourned for some time. Trump could get all kinds of recess appointments.

Let’s cut out the kabuki theatre and speed this up. Vote it out of committee today and put it to a vote of the senate on Thursday and swear her in Friday.
Effort? What effort. They had their hearings, now what? Why isn’t she already confirmed? Roberts is already using the deadlock to block efforts to keep the election fair, the stakes are high so get her confirmed and stop dawdling! To hell with the sour feelings of the dems.
Bump!
“as the Senate gets closer to confirming Barrett, likely early-to-mid-next week.”
Why are they waiting till next week? Get it done now!
