    About fucking time!

    Next do Quorum Calls and stop allowing unanimous consent, slow things to a fucking crawl. Make that “parliamentarian” they values so much when it stoped progress work their ass off having to make calls about every pointless process there is.

      Some dems have recently pledged to block unanimous consent for nominations, but I haven’t heard about quorum calls

      Call your senators and tell them that to do that if either/both are dems! They’ve been starting to put up a lot more of a fight recently after more and more people have been calling

      If either/both are Republicans, call them and tell them to vote no for the nominees
