Chuck Schumer’s Last Stand: Forces Rare Closed-Door Session to Protest Barrett Nomination
Breitbart ^ | 10/23/2020 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 10/23/2020 12:22:14 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) forced a brief but rare closed-door session in the Senate on Friday as part of the Democrats’ last-ditch effort to protest Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s forthcoming confirmation, just one day after Senate Judiciary Republicans voted her out of committee.

“Whoa…Schumer just forced the Senate into a rare closed door session. No cameras. No press. Doors being locked as I type,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) announced Friday morning, describing it as a “last ditch effort to convince Republicans to not send the Senate into this death spiral of power politics.”

That ship has sailed. Republicans tried to convince Harry Reid not to, but he did it anyway.

Schumer has lost this battle ... he knows he has lost this battle ... but symbolism over substance is one of the basic tenets of his Democrat/Left/Communist Party so he is compelled to behave this way.

And remember that when Harry Reid and Democrats got rid of the filibuster for other presidential nominees in 2013, the filibuster rule still remained for Supreme Court nominees.

At the time of the Gorsuch nomination to the Supreme Court in 2017, Schumer tried to set up the filibuster of that nomination. It was at that point, that the Mc Connell and the GOP did the “nuclear option” and got rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees.

Imagine if the filibuster rule were still there. This nomination would certainly have been filibustered, based on Democrats saying it’s too close to the election to vote on it. And the vote for Amy Coney Barrett would not be happening now.

The point is, Chuck Schumer has only himself to blame, for the chain of events which brought us to this point. He and Harry Reid have only themselves to blame, for deciding to tamper with long standing Senate rules of procedure. It’s the Democrats fault that the filibuster is gone and they can’t stop this nominee.
