Schumer gave them their marching orders.
My response to one of my useless senators on the issue:
“To say I was displeased with your response in regards to the nomination of the extremely well qualified Judge Barrett would be a gross understatement. Using “precedent” as an excuse? Really? How about showing some leadership and letting the minority leader know that this is not a game and you will proceed to vote in the affirmative when the vote comes to the floor now that is has been passed out of committee. You should proudly lead the way in setting a ‘new precedent’ which should not be the basis for this process anyway.
Another point comes to mind now that Judge Barrett’s nomination has been passed out of the judiciary committee . Surely you must be highly embarrassed at the juvenile antics that were on display when the committee vote was called. Not a single minority member was present and instead had large photos in their chairs which few people can relate to. These childish partisan antics do NOT play well with people who actually take this process seriously. It appears that the minority committee members would rather not participate. Your colleagues should have at least had the intestinal fortitude to show up and vote “NO” instead of there being a “no vote”. How disgusting.
Do the right thing, be a champion for equality and support women’s rights and vote to confirm Judge Barrett when the vote comes to the floor. The American people, including Nevadans, don’t pay you to play these the partisan games.”
I know I’m wasting band width since both my senators are having their strings pulled by the hairy reed faction. But what the heck. Tossed in the ‘equality’ thing for good measure. LOL!
