Even the gay ones? Because I don’t see them falling under a woman’s influence that way... Yet they lean Left.

And here you are proudly carrying on his timeless tradition of blame shifting instead of manning up and taking responsibility.

Way to go.

Your implicit message that men are less likely to lean left than women is without merit.

I’m glad she’s on the court and not you.

Has anyone seen this? Saw it at Parler.

From Schumer:
I am forcing a vote tonight to adjourn the Senate until after the November election.

The GOP in the middle of a national election is using an illegitimate process to jam through a Supreme Court nominee to rip away health care from millions.

Democrats are fighting to stop it.

Preach it, sister.

I don’t get why men think they have a corner on the conservative market.

There are certainly enough corrupt politicians on the left who are men. They are certainly not above reproach especially with their propensity to think with organs other than their brains.

It’s not illegitimate.

It’s all been done according to procedure.

He’s just mad and throwing a temper tantrum because he didn’t get his way.

Besides, they already voted to do it today. There’s no reason to wait. Matter of fact, doing what he suggests is the illegitimate way of handling it.

Dear God, PLEASE stop this man and his evil minions.

If Schumer does not have the votes to stop the confirmation, then he doesn’t have the votes to adjourn.

The confusion of intrinsic value versus role is the whole issue of how Satan deceived Eve in the Garden and is how Satan is deceiving women today in the decrepit Women's Movement with the same deadly results - today it's mass infanticide.

Grace is UNDESERVED favor. You can NEVER earn God's love which is the measure of your value.

If by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:6

But you seem to support this Women's Movement role versus value confusion. You should know better being the preacher of grace around here.

If the Senate adjourns, doesn’t that mean an immediate recess appointment?

I don’t see how Democrats win here.

Don’t know if he has the votes. That may be why he was pushing Pence not to be there. Who knows? Guess we will know at 8:00.

Markey just told a whopper. "As we experience the highest number of one day coronavirus death since the spring"

Who is "we?" Massachusetts? I don't think that would make it true anyway.

-- I am forcing a vote tonight to adjourn the Senate until after the November election. --

He did that earlier too, the Friday before the Sunday cloture vote was taken. He went through the menu of non-debatable motions. Motion to adjourn has the highest priority. He also moved to recommit, and he moved to recess.

All three votes were taken roll call (under "move to table Schumer's motion), and all of Schumer's motions were defeated. Figure about 40 minutes per vote, maybe an hour. Pure theater and waste of time.

Roll Call Votes 116th Congress (Senate) - 2nd Session (2020)

I’m with you. I get awfully tired of the mysogyny around here. I have many beautiful staunchly conservative sisters and know many limpwristed liberal “men”. Conservatives and liberals come in both sexes and all skin tones. Too many here are quick to judge someone by their appearance rather than character

Totally agree. The only governor in the whole US who had any guts was a woman. Our male “conservative” governor has been a complete pushover.

-- If the Senate adjourns, doesn't that mean an immediate recess appointment? --

No. It's a little complicated. Boils down to SCOTUS ruling that a recess longer than three days is necessary to be a recess long enough to support a recess appointment.

House and Senate run phony pro forma sessions to make sure no recess is longer than three days, on paper only. SCOTUS refuses to see this as a sham, so Congress has usurped the recess appointment power.

The "adjourn/recess" proposal made by Schumer has the typical pro forma sessions in place. It also has a "come back if Pelosi sends us a COVID bill" clause.

Oct 23, 2020 Motion to Adjourn

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I move to adjourn and to then convene for pro forma sessions only, with no business being conducted, at 12 noon on the following dates, and that following each pro forma session, the Senate adjourn until the next pro forma session: Tuesday, October 27; Friday, October 29; Tuesday, November 3; Friday, November 6. Further, that if there is an agreement on legislation in relation to the COVID pandemic, the Senate convene under the authority of S. Res. 296 of the 108th Congress. Finally, that when the Senate adjourns on Friday, November 6, it next convene at 4:30 p.m., Monday, November 9, and that following the prayer and the pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed.
