...it's as easy to find as this forum.

He's actually the person doing the most on this issue; the one who has done the most.

They just brought up his committee's SC ethics bill THIS WEEK, ffs, in an attempt to break the republican filibuster.

What about the other committee members? Is anyone accusing Sen. Whitehouse of inaction toward the SC? Is Sen. Blumenthal, who is also prominent on that committee balking? Of course not.

This misdirection about Durbin is just a canard, and it's being promoted as some kind of revelation, instead of coming up with ways to hold republicans accountable.
