Leahy was referring to Mitch Mcconnell who spoke only by phone to garland on wednesday, telling him he has no plans to schedule a hearing. On the senate floor they noted how garlands nomination could change the direction of the court for a generation, and republicans and democrats simply disagree on that.

My job is to study the qualification of these people going into the court behind me. Its an awesome responsibility and all of us agree we should take a look at the record as were begging the republicans to do. The white house is pushing its man as hard as it can, releasing this Video Montage of him and his family on the white h

Since enacting a statute in 1917 congress has routinely prescribed budgets mandating spending that so plainly exceeds projected revenues that they will inevitably require the treasury to borrow funds in excess of the debt ceiling to make good on our obligations. And for Decades Congress has improved approved home virtually every time we have crept close to the Borrowing Limit and all in all this is a very good thing because it is the largest borrow in the world a default by the United States government would in all likelihood trigger a worldwide economic depression.
