And so it begins –> WaPo already working hard to smear Amy Coney Barrett by tying her to sexual assault on college campuses

Twitchy   "We all knew this was coming but really, WaPo? They are struggling to find a way to accuse her of being a sexual predator so they are tying her to giving sexual predators a way out of getting in trouble on college campuses.

"You can’t make this up.

"Ok, that’s clearly not true because WaPo did. . . .

"Cue the ‘Barrett is responsible for ELEVENTY BILLION women being raped at colleges’ narrative …"


. . . "Exercising Rights To Delay Senate Action Generally

"Speaking at Length — In the absence of a unanimous consent agreement governing time to debate or cloture, a Senator who gets recognized to speak can speak at length.

"Objecting to Routine Consent Agreements — Any Senator may object to routine unanimous consent agreements, such as those to adjourn, to recess, to approve the Journal, or to dispense with the Morning Hour.  Forcing roll-call votes on routine motions to adjourn or recess would require Senators to come to the Capitol and also prevent the Senate from taking other action during the time that it would take for Senators to come to vote.

"New Legislative Day — If the Senate adjourns without a unanimous consent agreement providing for the handling of routine business at the beginning of a new legislative day, a new legislative day starts with the morning hour, a 2-hour period with a number of required procedures.  As part of the morning hour, any Senator could make a non-debatable motion to proceed to an item on the Senate calendar." . . .

Thank Dems for the Barrett nomination  "Among the reasons President Trump has reportedly decided to appoint Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is that the Democrats already attempted to “Bork” her, but failed, and disgraced themselves in the process while elevating her public profile." . . .
"You can expect a lot of news reports over the next few days to re-run Sen. Dianne Feinstein  attacking Barrett’s Catholic faith in Barrett’s confirmation hearings to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals three years ago. It will not be a good look for Democrats if they reprise this attack, but I’m betting they won’t be able to help themselves. I hope Barrett quotes John F. Kennedy back to them.
. . . "P.S. Remember that Kamala Harris is on the Judiciary Committee. Chances she’ll grandstand bigly in the Barrett hearings: 100%."
