Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) told Democratic
senators Saturday that he will force the clerks to read the
1,000-page Republican megabill on the Senate floor once
Republicans vote to proceed to the legislation, a procedural
act of defiance that will take an estimated 12 hours and delay
final passage of President Trump’s agenda by half a day —
at least.
. . .
It IS perfectly legal procedure. I think it
dates back to when even members of Congress
or the Senate weren't always able to read
very well but maybe didn't want to admit it.
But this was just pettiness, something
you'd expect from a 5-year-old, Chuckie's
little tantrum.
He's probably totally freaked since yesterday
when the USSC cut the balls off 'judicial
activism' - the lefts favorite way to rule.
