Graham still controlling Judiciary? Explain like I'm 5, how?

[irisblue]

Without snark, how is he still acting as though he is in charge of the judiciary committee?
Thanks and I'm going to get another mug of coffee

22. Not to mention dealing with the Florida killing of agents.

The FBI must be reeling from that.

[Loki Liesmith]

2. They haven't voted on the organizing resolution yet

Or hadn’t as of two days ago.

[DonViejo]

6. They voted on it yesterday; Dems are now in control of all Committees eom

[servermsh]

8. Link?

Which vote is it?

10. Either Joy Reid or Rachel Maddow announced it last night. eom

[msfiddlestix]

14. that's what I thought I heard Rachael Maddow say last night

This finally happened last night I believe. (?)

[Fiendish Thingy]

23. I watched Rachel last night, don't recall her saying anything- just memorial at Capitol. Not

[msfiddlestix]

24. Yeah, it was an unexpected aside, I feel like it was sort of close to the end of the hour.

Just a brief mention, because you're right, the entire hour was in attendance to anchoring the memorial. I was raptured with entire proceeding.

16. There has been no vote on OR to put dems head of committees

[DonViejo]

17. According to you. Who should we believe, Rachel Maddow or you? eom

[uponit7771]

18. Neither of them announced an OR vote ...HAPPENED.. that would put dems heads of committees.

If you have a link to ... THE OR VOTE ... that puts dems as heads of commitees please post it.

Regards

[DonViejo]

19. Interesting. Two DU'ers say they heard it from Rachel. For now, that's fine with me

[uponit7771]

21. I heard them say the senate ... WILL ... have a vote and the next thing I thought was yeah in summer

... 2024 !!

Moscow Mitch is bullshitting AGAIN and democrats need to have a sit down with each other about where the kGOP is going and where they want to take America.

After four years of Putin's Whore I don't see the kGOP wanting to take America to a good place

We need to get rid of the filibuster to move on as a COUNTRY because Moscow Mitch wants to take the country down to get political points.

[uponit7771]

15. Because we all know kGOP will filibuster the OR and dems don't have the votes to set a rule against

... filibuster for ORs.

This is HANDS DOWN an issue of democrats sticking together

[Me.]

3. Supposedly There Will Be A Vote Within Next 2 Days To Overturn This

[brooklynite]

5. When the Senate came in on Jan 3, Republicans were still the Majority Party....

...they passed an organizing resolution, which assigned Committee Chairs, with 51 votes (Perdue's term had ended, but Loeffler remained in office until the Election was certified). CHANGING the resolution in the middle of the Senate term requires 67 votes, so an agreement between Schumer and McConnell is necessary.

[servermsh]

9. Also, Democrats could use the nuclear option on organizing resolutions

But so far have apparently not gotten the 50 Democrats to agree to do this.

[uponit7771]

20. OR is a rule that can be changed by a vote that will be filibustered by kGOP and ...

... dems not sticking together to iliminate the filibuster for the OR rule is the real issue.

7. Glenn Kirschner had something to say about this.

“In an appalling bit of Republican obstruction, Lindsey Graham (who at the moment remains the leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee) is refusing to set a date for the confirmation hearing for Merrick Garland, President Biden's nominee for Attorney General. Graham's action is transparently in retaliation for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Indeed, Graham himself connects the two in a statement he released, saying, in part, "government requires trade-offs." “

11. Somebody on the Democratic side needs to find out...

...what it is that Trump has on Graham and threaten to let it be known.

[theneworiginal]

25. Biden has Georgia on Graham. Maybe that could be a "trade-off" nt

[uponit7771]

12. Because democrats wont stick together to abolish filibuster for this OR procedure. That's why, all

... other explanations are talking around this one very thing.

The OR needs to be brought to the floor, the kGOP will filibuster it democrats can set the rule that for ORs you can't filibuster ... boom.

It's done.
