Senate Democrats Push GOP Baseball Team to Field Only 8 Players

[brooklynite]

Roll Call:

Led by Minority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Democrats are calling on the GOP baseball team to play a man down at Thursday night's Congressional Baseball Game .

"If the Republicans believe the Supreme Court can consider some of the most important issues of our time without a full roster of justices, then they should have no problem competing without a full Republican squad of players on the field," the Nevada Democrat said in a statement provided to Roll Call.

5. Do they want to do something

that isnt merely symbolic? Then every time a camera is ponted at their pie holes they should be bringing up the republicans disrespect for this president, and their (GOP) unwillingness to fulfill their constitutional duties. The dems could bring the senate to a screeching halt, if they wanted to. Instead of that, they are trying to stunts with a stupid baseball team.
