McConnell is a klutz.
It’s time for the filibuster to go in any event.
Make them all take on-the-record votes on EVERYTHING.
Then the voters can judge come election time.
This will also remove the layer of insulation from the voters that says “My Congressman is a left-wing screaming whack job, but he always delivers when it comes to money for local bridges and the Community Center. So I’ll vote for him and trust the Filibuster will prevent these crazy ideas from actually becoming law.”
No more. You vote for it, you broke it, you OWN it.
Yeah that would work but then the Senators couldn’t get out of town tomorrow night.
Or, this is what he is doing,.... right now. Let’s see if he invokes Rule 19. This shows up the utterly EMPTY arguments of Schumer, Warren, Durbin and the rest of them for meaningless trashing of a fine qualified candidate.
BTW it is the affirmation of QUALIFICATION for the SCOTUS that the Senate is Constitutionally remanded to perform, and this has transmogrified to politically defined “qualifications” as defined by Originalists vs., in the case of liberal dems— whether the candidate will legislate for THEIR agenda from the SCOTUS bench.
Perhaps you didn’t read the article you linked?
“McConnell is a klutz.”
He put Gorsuch on the bench for this case. Under your klutz plan we would still be hearing speeches from the democrats on why to not vote for Gorsuch.

“McConnell is a klutz.”
If Democrats had afforded Gorsuch a relatively non-controversial confirmation process (after all, it was simply swapping one conservative for another), it is a very open question whether McConnell would have been able to corral all 52 votes to pass a rules change on behalf of Trump’s second pick — whose credentials may not be quite as sterling as Gorsuch’s, and whose presence on the Court would tilt the ideological balance rightward. By picking the fight that they did in order to appease the barking jackals in their base, Democrats ensured that the next pick can get installed on the bench with 50-plus-one votes.
Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the Supreme Court on April 7 and this week will take part in deciding whether he and his fellow justices will hear the United States Courts of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit’s ruling which upheld California’s “good cause” requirement for concealed carry.
