Threat Of Working Weekends Gets Dems To Quit Stalling

Thanks to changes in the filibuster rules by former Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), Republicans can pass nominees to the judiciary with a simple majority. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have been trying to slow walk nominees by taking a full 30 hours to debate each one.

That tactic came to an end when members of the committee were informed that due to the prolonged debates, they would have to now work weekends to move the nominees along for a full senate vote. The foot dragging Democrats immediately caved.

  1. Wow, who knew that the threat of a seven-day workweek instead of the usual three-day workweek would have any negative effect on our highly motivated and hard working public servants!

  2. “Threat of working” would have been enough.

    If they try a sick-out, have the Capitol Police round them up and “escort” them to work.

    Put mandatory GPS ankle bracelets on all of them. For their own “safety”.

  3. This is terrible. It’s already a 5 day work week. Well, 4 if you count the day they’re forced to play golf or have a sit down in some theater. But hey, 3 days of showing up on tv talking about whatever they’re doing during their 2 days at work is hard, y’all. And they sometimes have to show up for a vote! Man, 1 day a week’s work is just excessive! Such cruelty!

    Somewhere, there’s a doctor on call at a county hospital crying for the members of Congress being overworked.

  4. ☎️ WAKE UP CALL! ☎️

    It took you bozos 1 YEAR to figure out how to make geriatric people move faster? All you had to do was work them hard and they’ll probably keel-over due to the stress.

    Work through holidays, and weekends, and from 8AM-10PM, and see how much work you can get done.
    You think Diane Feinstein has it in her for 14 hour days at 84 years old? Not hardly.

    Every day counts as GOLD. You aren’t going to hold the majority forever.

  5. PLEASE don’t make the dimocrats work over the weekend! Saturday and Sunday are the only two days of the week I can turn on the TV or radio and not have to see/hear that imbecile Schmuck Choomer!

  6. Schedule the weekends. If the Dems don’t show, pass a rule for a new quorum, then all then pass appointments or eliminate bad laws all you want.
    Except the Repubs would never do that.

  7. Do whatever the hell it takes but get those Judges confirmed and in their seats. Make sure they’re conservative or at least have respect for the law and aren’t out to make law and young enough so that they’ll be there awhile to help the Constitution weather another Democrat assault on America’s freedoms.

  8. Next, make all the rules apply to them, no exemptions. I’m sick and tired of working my ass off so these jokers can fly all over kingdom come for reduced rates. Pay in full you sorry lot, make the choice between eating at a nice restaurant or putting aside something for your meagre retirement, or put off buying a new car for a couple of years because the DMV taxes are onerous.
    You electeds should struggle.
