Senate Democrats will BOYCOTT SCOTUS committee vote for Amy Coney Barrett and put pictures of people with pre-existing conditions on their chairs in protest at Trump nomination

[Ted Grant]

I don’t think the committee has to vote on it. I think Thomas didn’t get through committee and they just went to the full senate vote.

[Kozak]

Chairman Graham:
“The Sargent at Arms will remove all the objects in the seats of the absent members”.....

[bert]

Just now, Senator Graham said that the Barret nomination wouldbe reported out of committee today

[alabama_heart]

I was just thinking the same thing. What are these people 12 years old??

[Durbin]

Democrats aren’t showing up to do the jobs they were elected to do? That’s a shocker!!!!!!

[ThunderSleeps]

I'm reminded of the scene in "Animal House" when Otter says: "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

Seems to pretty well cover the 'rats petty displays...

[Phillyred]

Two questions:

1. How are they getting away with this pre-existing condition crap when thebpresident has repeatedly said he will protect those people?
2. How do the democrats think protecting Obamacare is a winning issue since Trump ran on getting rid of it in 2016 and won?

[BigEdLB]

It’s 5-4. Roberts went to the dark side starting with the Obamacare vote

And Trump supports pre existing coverage.

If God wants to really help, he'll get a third shift running at Lake City.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

but for those of you with loved ones in this state of mind, just pray for them. It’s all we can do.

I agree.. Prayers will be answered.

It’s really amazing that not one, not one person on their side, has the courage to vote yes, as she’s clearly qualified.

When RBG was nominated, she replaced a white male conservative. I don’t recall the GOP demanding that CLinton replace him with a like minded judge.

[gcparent]

So sorry for you after you nurtured her and provided a good foundation. Must be heartbreaking.

[SmokingJoe]

What drama queens.
Sorry, not gonna achieve sh*t.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Why don’t they tear up a speech?

[nikos1121]

No, but we’re assuming that McConnell has the votes.

He may lose 3 and still pass her?

Amazing, that not one democrat will vote for her? Not one?

[Mark17]

Truly can’t believe how far the Democrat party has sunk to!

They will probably sink lower. 👎

[NicoDon]

More and more there does look to be a cure... 5.56

[Reily]

It was one of the issues that flipped the House back to the Rats in 2018.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I believe I have a similar situation. I hope she understands what will be the future of her children.
