[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are still operating under the rules of the previous Senate, 2019-20, which was under GOP control and ergo had GOP chairmen. This is holding up legislative business and slowing nominee hearings since its the chairmen who call for hearing dates, etc. One committee's chairman has now retired, (the Health cmte) so the HHS nominee can't even have a hearing yet because no one is in charge of the committee to order one up.[/quote]

Seriously. I get why McConnell was a threat when he was Majority Leadership. But what IS THIS? Schumer is Majority Leader. He has the power to set Committee Chairs, decide to bring bills up to vote, and assorted other crap. McConnell never ever gave an inch. He even lied - anyone recall Merrick Garland vs Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation?

WHY are the Senate Democrats letting him run roughshod over this? Why don't the Dems let him filibuster for 15 hours or however long he can stand, have him pass out, and vote in the Rules of Organization?
