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.”

yup
Watching temper tantrums when children don’t get their way is never pretty.
“If the roles were reversed, he’d do the same thing Mitch is doing...”
If the roles were reversed, he’d have not had hearings and just went to the approval vote. Boom. F the Repub’s. Everyone knows it.
Wow, imagine the primary between Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez.
On the one hand, would be nice to see Schumer forced out of the Senate. On the other hand, would be nice to see Schumer dispose of a radical such as Ocasio-Cortez. She is poised to be a major leader of the Democrat party, if she stays in Congress for years and years.
Odds are the winner of such a Democrat primary will will election to the Senate in 2022.
WTF? Mitch is weak.
The GOP knows failure to get this done is a death sentence for the party.
Or they should......
This is the party, that BEFORE RBG died, said they would pack the Court:
2020 Dems warm to expanding Supreme Court
A series of White House hopefuls are expressing new interest in remaking the courts — payback for Republican aggression during the Obama presidency.

They are absolute children.
This is the party, that BEFORE RBG died, said they would pack the Court:
Dems don’t need to pack the court. All they need is Roberts and one of Gorsuch/Kavanaugh and it is 5-4 even with ACB.
I wonder what they are trying to cut for a deal?
They are absolute children.
Not really. Dems fight for every inch of the political battlefield in support of their agenda. The GOP does not.
Dear deluded Senator Murphy, you joined the US Senate on 3 January 2013 so you were there when YOUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), went against copious warnings and invoked mere majority vote for approving Federal Judges. It was November of 2013 when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned “You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think!"
Like plucking a pebble from a mountain slope, this avalanche is all yours and your fellow Democratic Asses! In this same position with the positions reversed, we all KNOW you would be doing this very thing with no qualms! You just show us the depths of your regret and idiocy. STUFF IT!
Hillary would have named AOC to the court. Or someone younger.
Just imagine what the court would have looked like with Hillary picks.
They closed the door so they cold cry in private, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Having her confirmed prior to the election is a great thing.
Having her confirmed on Hillary's birthday (10/26) is priceless.
As long as Schumer keeps the Senate in closed session, they can't debate the Barrett nomination. That pushes the time line out for as long as they stay closed.
Just my guess.

The adjourned, not recessed. BIG difference in “rules.” Adjourned means until tomorrow. Recessed means “shut down.”
All sorts of things can happen during a recess.
It's great, isn't it? The Dems may have inadvertently saved the Republic they're trying to destroy.
