"Because our Republican colleagues have made such a mockery of the Supreme Court confirmation process, we are not going to have business as usual here in the Senate," Schumer said Monday.

FVK John R. on that asinine court. We need to get Amy B. in or his insane VOTE and POLITICAL LEGISLATING from bench over the PA ballot question may indeed give Biden the White House.
Confirmation vote is this Friday according to past timelines.
"Tonight I will move to bring up a vote under the Congressional Review Act and force Action on a resolution to undo the Trump administration's gutting ... of the Community Reinvestment Act."
Schumer is turning out to be the worst speaker of the Senate that the democrats have ever put forward.
