Mass death, mass unemployment, mass hunger and suffering among children. This two sides in congress to be addressing those challenges together, now more than ever while so many are so fearful about tomorrow. The rules that the senate goes by and the agreement the senate makes needs to stand for something. Thats how i felt when i negotiated with a 600 a week Unemployment Insurance boost in march. The treasury secretary for the republicans agreed to it but at the last minute, republican senators pretended otherwise and tried to vote it out of the bi bill. Think about that. It was an agreement between both sidesha and one thing Senate Republicans wanted to do was break the agreement and keep working to get them money to pay the rent and the food bill. At a time they had been laid off through no fault of their own. Another example is unfolding right before our eyes. Until a few weeks ago, Peter Mcconnell and chairman graham would have toldas you it was the 11th commandment carved in stone,
Mcconnell and she were making arguments for and against the nomination. The clerk will report the culture motion. In accordance with provisions of rule 22, standing rules of the senate to hereby move to bring to a close debate on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett from indiana, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States signed by 18 sanders as follows. Mcconnell, ernst, blackburn, cap until, graham perdue, grassley. Cotton, for, alexander. Majority leader.

This is signed by 18 senators as follows. The majority leader. With First Experience Supreme Court confirmations in the senate, i was a young staffer for a Junior Member of the judiciary committee. Time i met a young guy named Lamar Alexander who left the senate to go down to the white house to work in congressional affairs. So ive had an opportunity for quite a long time to observe the confirmation process through various ups and downs, periods when nominees were confirmed almost overwhelmingly and periods during which they were heated, to put it mildly, contests over the nomination. What i think i can safely say about the senate over the last 40 or 50 years is that its in an assertive period. In other words, viewing the whole process as a joint thing that the president has a role to play and the senate has a role to play and at various times in the history of our country, the senates been pretty passive about it and at other times theyve been pretty aggressive about it. But the const
She sent plenty of signals in the past about what she feels about the Affordable Care act. My friend from south dakota who says you dont know how she is going to rule, there is some truth to that. She could change your mind. But i tell you if you were a betting person, you would say the statements she made criticizing chief Justice Roberts for saving the Affordable Care act, other statements that she has made about the law itself suggest she will not be a friend when she has the opportunity to vote. Do we take that seriously . On behalf of 600,000 people in illinois, you bet i do. It directly relates to this pandemic, the opportunity for people across this country to have the coverage they need. Im going to tell a quick story about one of them. I have a quote of her here that i want to share with people, a situation that she faces. Sorry that i dont have that in front of me, but im going to tell the story anyway because i remember it. Her last name is daninberger. She is from new berli
