MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont has broken a hip in a fall at his home and was to undergo surgery to repair it, his office said Thursday.
The 82-year-old Democrat fell Wednesday night in McLean, Virginia, the statement said. Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair the hip as soon as possible.

But, to vote, doesn’t Leahy actually have to be able to be in the senate building? Pelosi set up remote control proxy voting by dictatorship, but she doesn’t control the Senate.

Proxy voting is allowed in committee, but I'm not sure about floor votes.
What does it matter? Schumer's going to do what he wants to do.

Seems his time to serve has passed. As I can best recall, he was serving no useful purpose anyway & should have retired before now.

The Senate better not have plans for any votes in the next month. For a healthy person he’d be out in days, Leahy is not healthy.

"This is what happens when the party of “diversity” and “inclusion” is led by geriatric caucasians." All of the power brokers of the Demonrat Party are black or immigrant anti-white racists, it is a crooked urban party machine and once that fossil generation goes they will no longer be able to hide it.

So Leaky was half blind?
Somehow I’m not at all surprised.

A fall and broken hip often signals accelerated decline. There’s a long list of Dems in power who are about to get voted out by the Almighty.

Looking forward to scraping these barnacles off the hull of progress.

To continue your nautical theme, I don’t wish Leaky any pain or ill of any kind. But I would happily wish him Bon Voyage!

A truly EVIL human. Life expectancy after breaking a hip (I have read) is 2 years. Let us hope that is WRONG. (Sooner would be better).
Would YOU pray for THIS guy?
Then you are a fool. The “torment” awaits Senator Leahy.

Now I’m really wondering what caused his fall.
With the elderly, the hip’s breaking is what causes the fall.
