Schumer Rips Senate GOP Saying Every Single One of Them Blocked Obamas Nominee for a Year [View all]
Democratic Leader Senator Chuck Schumer called Republicans out on the Senate floor Thursday for pearl clutching about the nuclear option for their SCOTUS nominee.
Republicans are threatening that they will have no choice but the nuclear option if Democrats don’t vote for President Trump’s supreme court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.
Schumer responded on the Senate floor Thursday, “And for all the hand-wringing by my friends on the other side of the aisle that they cannot imagine Democrats voting against Judge Gorsuch; I would like to remind them that only three — three — of the current senators on the Republican side voted for either of President Obama’s confirmed nominees.”
“Let me repeat that: only three of the current senators on the Republican side voted for either one of President Obama’s confirmed nominees. Most voted for neither.”
“And every single one of them lined up to conduct an ‘audacious’ partisan blockade of Merrick Garland,” the top Democrat reminded Republicans.
