Republicans deny Schumer's third attempt to delay ACB confirmation this week

Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., put up a fight on Wednesday against confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court by filing a point of order, or an objection to voting on Barrett’s confirmation before the November election.
The New York Democrat’s motion for the Senate not to consider any Supreme Court nomination so close to the election was his third attempt to delay the process this week. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the Senate’s presiding officer, called Schumer’s point of order “not ripe for decision,” and denied it.
Schumer raised a parliamentary inquiry asking if the Senate had ever considered a SCOTUS nominee so close to an election. "According to Parliamentarian, Secretary of Senate's office confirms it has not," Romney said before denying Schumer's point of order, or complaint, that Senate rules are not being followed.
quote:
Schumer appealed Romney’s ruling, then moved to table, or kill, his own appeal, forcing senators to go on record with their vote to move forward, after noting that no Supreme Court nominee had been confirmed after July in an election year.
The vote fell along party lines-- 51 Republicans voted to block the appeal and 44 Democrats voted against.

Actually Reeeeeee didn’t do anything. Any inquiry or point of order must be in writing and given to the parliamentarian to read. They then tell the presiding officer what to say based on the findings by the Secretary of the Senate's office. There are standing rules of the Senate that have to be followed. So Mitt just did what he was told.

"I beg you not to break the rules of the Senate in order to change the rules of the Senate. If you do, you may come to regret it. And you may come to regret a lot sooner than you think". --- Mitch McConnell to the worm Harry Reid.

Is he trying to earn his nickname “Cryin’ Chuck?”

I just read that the Dems won’t show for the vote. Someone please tell me they won’t succeed in blocking her confirmation???

No. It’s merely we’re not showing up and we’re gonna stand in solidarity together bullshite. This has no bearing on her confirmation. She’ll be voted out tomorrow and Mitch can bring up the nomination for debate on the Senate floor Friday. I assume they’ll work Saturday and he’ll file cloture then.
