Republicans go off on Dick Durbin over Senate Judiciary shenanigans
NY Post ^ | 11/30/2023 | Ryan King

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee raged against Chairman Dick Durbin Thursday after he refused a third debate on two of President Biden’s judicial nominees, leading one senior GOP lawmaker to say Durbin had “just destroyed one of the most important committees in the United States Senate.”

As a roll call vote got underway, senators on the Republican side warned that Durbin’s steamrolling would be remembered.

“You’re gonna have a lot of consequences coming if you go down this road. I’ve cautioned a lot of you,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told his Democratic colleagues.

“You’re gonna have a lot of consequences coming”
“would be remembered’

Two of Boehner’s favorite lines that he used when he planned to do nothing whatsoever in response.

Dick Durbin is the poster child for term-limits. God save us from career politicians and grifters like Durbin! If the Founders could have foreseen today’s government, I believe they would have included a term-limit article in the Constitution - IMHO.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Durbin allowed a vote on subpoenas for friends of Justices Thomas and Alito, while simultaneously blocking a similar subpoena for friends of Justice Sotomayor.

“Durbin allowed a vote on subpoenas for friends of Justices Thomas and Alito, while simultaneously blocking a similar subpoena for friends of Justice Sotomayor.”

One side is fighting a war. The other side is participating in a debate.

Dickhead Durbin can do this b/c he knows his “colleagues across the aisle” like Cornyn, Thune, Romney, Murkowski are a bunch of wussies who will do nothing in retaliation.

Since the Repukes fought so hard on the Steal, I have zero confidence anything will change. In fact, I believe the steal will continue, filter down to more national races, and ensure a Dim Super-majority in 8-12 years.
