Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer invoked the "two-hour rule" Tuesday, a measure that constrains the scheduling and duration of Senate committee meetings.
The move is intended to retaliate against Republicans, who have agreed to vote on confirming President Trump's nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.
Under the rule, no Senate committee or subcommittee can meet after the Senate has been in session for two hours or after 2 p.m. The move potentially delays a briefing on national security and a confirmation hearing for Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf.

Since she was a stanch abortionist, give her one of those aborted baby funerals out of respect.
Well, then cancel the hearings and go straight to a vote. Blame Schmuckie for trashing the hearings.
I forget if it was you I posted to before, but awesome flick.
“You can’t change the rules every time someone invokes the rules.”
oh, the Senate absolutely can ... Senate “rules” have no Constitutional basis and were more or less established arbitrarily, so can be modified are eliminated arbitrarily; that’s how McConnell eliminated the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees ...
Harry would shoot himself in the foot trying to screw over the Republicans, and then have his eye sockets beaten in by mob goons when his plan backfired.
I believe it was Rush the other day who stated there is no
mention of committee oversight when it comes to these
SCOTUS Justice Appointments. I’ve seen others state that
we should just skip them.
Honestly, with all the games going on, why not. Just
put the persons name out, and have a vote.
Schumer can sit in the back room playing tiddly-winks by
himself.
Burial next week as another Jewish holiday. But he is not waiting for her to be in the ground.
Schumer’s a traitor. Period. Somebody should impose a two hour rule on him, i.e. you’ve got two hours to get the hell out of DC.
He is certainly an ass, but I think he is working hard to stay out of prison.
Where is the “Rule” that says the Minority makes the Rules? I think this is Fake News.
“...give her one of those aborted baby funerals out of respect.”
I think the red-bag pick up in D.C. is no Wednesday. Although that one “doctor” Gosnell had his rooms and hallways littered with red bags when they raided him.
Send Schumer to Gitmo please.
I should have said funeral.
I think it'll be on Friday or Saturday,' Trump said of the impending announcement for his third Supreme Court nomination. 'And we want to pay respect. We, it looks like, it looks like we will have probably services on Thursday or Friday, as I understand it.'
'I think in all due respect we should wait until the services are over for Justice Ginsburg,' he told the Fox & Friends panel during a Monday morning call-in interview. 'And so we're looking probably at Friday or maybe Saturday.'
Susan Collins still has a little kabouky left in her.Another woman who was set up.
Is there some New York thing that makes old Jews talk like prissy old women? Schumer and Bloomberg both sound like that.
Exactly right. No vote needed.
OK, technically they can, but how fucking stupid would it look to change the rules everytime the democrats invoked them? Why bother with rules?
Call your Senator and demand they changed the committee meeting rule.
One of the few things he's good at.
I dont care how “silly” it looks. We HAVE TO replace Ginsburg before the election or I am telling you.. SOMETHING will happen and we will get screwed on this.
I just feel it in my bones.
Do we control the senate, or does Schumer?
