1. first four paragraphs below

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lambasted the Republican Party’s efforts to push through the Supreme Court confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett on Monday evening, warning his GOP colleagues that they may regret their actions “for a lot longer than they think.”

Schumer was referencing the words of then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2013 after the Democratic-controlled chamber eliminated the 60-vote rule on lower court and executive branch nominations. Republicans eliminated a similar threshold for Supreme Court appointments in 2017, requiring a simple majority instead.

“You’ll regret this, and you may regret it a lot sooner than you think,” McConnell said in 2013. He has since used the rule change to elevate three of President Donald Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court.

In his floor speech Monday, Schumer said he’d change just one word of that sentiment: “My colleagues will regret this for a lot longer than they think.”

9. They don't care. They've said so. Republicans & their American Taliban know...

...public sentiment - most of America is against them. So they manipulate the courts to retain minority rule and control. Been going on for decades. Sheldon Whitehouse exposed it. This article goes into even more detail: https://democraticunderground.com/100214368522

THIS is why we all must demand that Biden reform, restore and rebalance the courts. Because right now, most of them in the country, worst of all the supreme court - have NO ability or desire to dispense any form of justice. They were not put there for that. And that his not their objective.

And tell McConnell, Graham, Rubio, Paul and Cruz to go fuck themselves when Dems take back the Senate.

They have done enough fucking over to last a life time.

12. When has it ever mattered how mad Schumer got?

Perhaps it's not his fault at all, in fact, I don't think it is - but let's be honest. Chuck Schumer hasn't been able to foray outrage and anger into many meaningful results.

Our majority leader needs to be as cold and merciless as that walking corpse that just baked the biggest "fuck you America" cake in our short history. I'm done with outrage, anger and talk. I want Republican fuckery annihilated, and I no longer care how.
