Al Franken Blasts Mitch McConnell On Senate Floor For Blocking Obama SCOTUS Nominee

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) took to the Senate floor to blast Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans while revealing the absurdity of their argument against considering President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.

...

The people have made it clear that they want Barack Obama to nominate the next Supreme Court justice.

Franken urged Republicans to reconsider their obstruction, but the absurdity underlying the Republican argument was laid out for all to see. Republicans don’t have a leg to stand on, but if they want to invalidate the last year of Obama’s presidency, then all Democrats should demand that any Republican, who is up for reelection in November, can’t vote, chair a committee, or participate in the activities of Congress in any way.

Republicans have picked a fight that they can’t win, and Democrats are dominating McConnell and his Republicans on the Supreme Court argument.
