BREAKING: Despite Boycott By Democrats, Senate Judiciary Committee Votes to Advance SCOTUS Confirmation

streetwisepol October 23, 2020 Uncategorized Comments Off on BREAKING: Despite Boycott By Democrats, Senate Judiciary Committee Votes to Advance SCOTUS Confirmation

This morning the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett despite the boycott of the committee Democrats.

“We will not grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just twelve days before the culmination of an election that is already underway.”

By boycotting the committee hearing, Democrats hoped to stop the vote because there would not be a full quorum to proceed. However, because the Republicans have the majority, they could propose to proceed anyway and then unanimously vote on the proposal, and therefore continue with the vote anyway. Committee Chairman Graham said,

“As you know, our Democratic colleagues informed the committee last night that they will not participate in the hearing. That was their choice. It will be my choice to vote the nominee out of committee. We’re not going to allow them to take over the committee,”

The 12 committee members who were in attendance voted unanimously to advance the confirmation the the Senate.
Instead of attending the committee hearing, Democrats plan to hold several press conferences to voice their disgust with the process. These press conferences come on the heels of much criticism that the committee Democrats were not fighting the process hard enough. Unfortunately for disgruntled Democrats, the Constitution doesn’t care about their feelings and the confirmation process is entirely constitutionally appropriate.
