Why hasn't Schumer pulled Manchin's committee assignments yet?

[librechik]

Gloves definitely still on. And this guy is as bad as they come. Marjorie Taylor Greene bad.

I know she's in the House, not the Senate. But there has to be some disciplinary strategy, especially since he repeatedly lies to us.

1. I'm 100% sure that move would

Cost us control of the Senate.

[librechik]

7. Thanks for the informative answer. Maybe later when we can drop a Senator

without regret. I knew there had to be something. Disappointing though.

[bluestarone]

10. I agree with the later

IF we ever get that chance i'm 100% for that. Would love to see us up 4 senators!

[Demsrule86]

19. Why would you drop a Senator...once we have more Senators it won't matter. And warm bodies are

always useful in majority building and Manchin votes for all our judges...jeez.

[JanLip]

14. Agree

Manchin knows he has Sen. Schumer over a barrel. It’s sickening. We need more Dem senators. Vote vote vote. Be interesting to see his reaction when he loses all his power.

2. Rephrased

Why doesn't Schumer ensure that no judicial nominations go through the Senate?

[brooklynite]

3. Because Schumer is a politician, not a social media blogger

16. No kidding.

And Schumer would prefer that he is the Senate Majority Leader rather than Mitch McConnell.

Are people for real with this BS?

[tritsofme]

4. Probably because Manchin can pull Schumer's majority?

Or do you not like Democratic judges being confirmed in record numbers?

[patphil]

5. Manchin's in the drivers seat and he knows it.

If Schumer pulls his committee assignments, all Manchin has to do is declare himself an independent, or worse yet a republican, and Moscow Mitch is Senate majority leader again.
Schumer's hands are tied.

[madaboutharry]

6. Because Manchin is such a dick that Schumer thinks he would switch his party.

Manchin could turn around and become an independent who caucuses with the Republicans. Bye Bye Senate.

So basically Manchin is holding the Senate and the country hostage to his corrupt ways.

[librechik]

8. Thanks everybody for the responses

Once again I was overlooking the obvious.

[rogue emissary]

9. So Manchin could switch parties and give Mitch control of the Senate again?

[nycbos]

11. Because he voted yes vote on every single judge that Biden appoints.

And as annoying as he is that's why we need him.

[karynnj]

12. He wants to stay majority leader?

It is crazy to compare MTG with Manchin. Not voting as we wish is not like things MTG did.

[yardwork]

13. Agreed. Make it hurt. Republicans don't mess around like this.

[dlk]

17. Manchin votes for Biden's judicial picks

We’re stuck with him for now.

[Demsrule86]

18. You do understand that we need Manchin in order to form a majority right? And I an sure

the GOP would give him whatever he wants if we don't.

[onenote]

20. Kamala Harris has cast 23 tie-breaking votes

The third most in the history of the nation. The two VP's ahead of her, Calhoun with 31 took 7 years and Adams with 29 took 8 years. Harris has been in office for less than two years.

We don't have to like Manchin, but comparing him to MTG is ridiculous.

[krawhitham]

21. Because he will switch parties and we will not get more judges, pretty simple
