Do Nothing GOP: Democrats Have Passed 400 Bills As Trump Throws Impeachment Tantrums

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Democrats in the House have been passing bills at a rapid clip; as of November 15, the House has passed nearly 400 bills, not including resolutions. But the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee estimates 80 percent of those bill have hit a snag in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prioritizing confirming judges over passing bills.

Congress has passed just 70 bills into law this year. Granted, it still has one more year in its term, but the number pales in comparison to recent past sessions of Congress, which typically see 300-500 bills passed in two years (and that is even a diminished number from the 700-800 bills passed in the 1970s and 1980s).

1. Every Chance They Get The Dems Need To Promote The Fact That They Passed 400....

bills that are gathering dust on McConnell's desk and not being brought to his do-nothing Senate.

Let the American People know where the real bottleneck is in Congress. We have to stop letting the Repugs set the narrative that it's the Dems that are doing nothing.

And though we want to defeat Trump - we can't just run a campaign just against Trump.

The campaign for 2020 needs to be focused on the Repugs and their stonewalling and lack of getting anything done unless it benefits the 1% and the corporations.

2. Agreed.

McConnell's agenda, as is obvious, is to fill every Appellate level judicial vacancy with a young, right wing judge.
