Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., took the first steps Friday to advance Amy Coney Barrett for a Supreme Court confirmation vote despite delay tactics from Democrats, including forcing a rare closed-door session that's typically reserved for national security matters.
Senate Republicans voted in favor of a procedural motion to enter executive session to begin debating Barrett's nomination -- teeing up a final vote on Barrett's nomination Monday.
"Let's get on with it. Let's do our jobs," said McConnell, while hitting Democrats for efforts to undercut Barrett and previous GOP nominees. "We will give this nominee the vote she deserves no later than Monday."

“don’t forget it was Maine’s own Olympia Snowe(R) that allowed it out of committee and then voted NO knowing the Dems had the votes to pass it on its own.... SHE IS THE TRUE MOTHER OBAMACARE!!.. Had she voted NO in the committee there would never even been a vote on Obamacare!”
I wonder if Susan Collins has any relation to Snowe.
Schumer is a prick
Gideon, I believe, had only the jawbone of an ass.
The Senate has Chuck Schumer.
They first had to steal a Senate seat with endless recounts until the groper won, then dumped him later because he was a groper.
Ah yes the new Louisiana Purchase, money talks.
LOLOL!!
Chuck's reminding us that what does make right is that the Democrats are always right. As usual.
Yes, that truly was the critical vote to pass it so we could find out what was in it.

Not unlike a bowel movement.
Just goes to show that out of evil, good can come. :-)
Mu”shrumer” doesn’t even know how that phrase is supposed to be translated. Might can make what is wrong into what is right.
On Christmas eve I think ...
I had a tremendous quiver-ache this morning, but I took two Tylenol and it went away.
“Might does not make right.”
That’s rich coming from Democrats who changed the 60 vote requirement, who want to abolish the Electoral College, who pushed to have senators elected by popular vote, who used vote shenanigans to pass Obamacare, who destroyed impeachment protocol based solely on party vote, and who have been pushing mob violence this summer and threatening more next month. “Might” has been a handy tool for Democrats for a long time.
Neglected to include amnesty for illegals as one of their “mighty” tools.
I think Arlen Specter a Repub. Senator from Penn. voted for it, and that was the end of “Snarlin Arlen” in politics.
Sorry, I believe it was Sampson who slew thousands with that jackass jaw! (not that it matters much just like Shuck Chumer.
lol
Assuming Barrett is confirmed on Monday, and assuming Kavanaugh and Gorsuch actually vote conservative, and assuming Clarence Thomas doesn’t decide to retire, the SC will finally have a conservative majority. Roberts is clearly determined to vote with the liberals on every major case and a number of minor cases.
Agree.
