Schumer and McConnell still negotiating over the Senate organizing resolution, per Durbin. McConnell didn’t answer when asked what the hold up was earlier today.

The delay over the organizing resolution, which gives the committee gavels to Dems, is already impacting Biden’s nominees. Durbin can’t set a hearing for Garland because Graham is still chairman. Graham wants a 2 day hearing, refusing to set one before the impeachment trial.

“They’re hoping to get that done today,” Barasso says

1. They lost the White House the house of reps and the senate. Get them out.

2. As I understand, Senator Warner is in quarantine and the Senate doesn't allow remote or proxy voting

So the Dems hands are tied at getting to 50 regardless.

4. Sure, but last week Schumer's spokesperson said McConnell "threw in the towel"

So I guess that was incorrect. If McConnell caved, they could just vote and have enough Republicans vote for it.

Our government is acting too slowly.

9. When is his quarantine over?

10. From what I read He quarantined last week after exposure

I think if he has a second negative test he should be returning in a day or so.

3. I Guess it is Imperative That at Least the One Side of the Senate is Determined

To preserve the established civilized, democratic ways of doing business, but I tell you, after the blockage of Garlands SC nomination and so much else in the way of awful bending, stretching, and breaking of the rules by the party of David Duke over the years, it does get one thinking.

6. Lindsey should be thrown out of the Senate for trying to

Throw out the ballots in Georgia, why isn't he in jail yet?

Who cares about their opinions anymore do the Biden agenda.

Democrats would have figured out you can't work with these assholes. Tell them this is how its going to be, period.
