Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Saturday said that he will seek to obtain a consent agreement only to delay the return of Senate’s floor proceedings scheduled to begin on Monday, meanwhile pushing ahead with the Senate Judiciary Committee’s original timeline set for the confirmation hearing of a conservative judge to the Supreme Court.
The national government is in a crisis like we’ve seen only a few times in our history and this disgrace of a Senate majority leader is going after one of his judges with the single-mindedness of a truffle pig. Way to serve the nation, you reanimated corpse.
McConnell’s luck might just have run out. He’s trying to selvage this, but I get the feeling that chaos will loom large throughout all Republican circles over the next few weeks and derail all his attempts do anything.
“Consent Agreement”. Who says he won’t come up with some creative form of bullshit to proceed somehow? I just stopped by again to say…“told ya so…na-na-na-boo-boo.” He’s gonna wedge this baby in no matter what.
Honestly, it still won’t stop him to come up with something. He’ll change the proceedings to remote votes if he has to. He’s not gonna let this go. He doesn’t care how contemptible he is in the eyes of anyone anymore. People could be dying at his feet and he’d still try to proceed and drag them in by their hair to make them vote on his side of the aisle, clothed in hazmat suits if he has to.
