Democratic Senators are Tweeting Photos of the Giant Pile of 'Dead' House-Passed Bills on Mitch McConnell's Desk

U.S. Senators are sharing photographs of the growing pile of bills passed by the House only to stymie on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's desk.

The stack, a symbolic replication of legislation McConnell refuses to bring to a vote, was reportedly the brain child of Senator Debbie Stabenow. According to her office, it includes more than 300 bills about voter registration, background checks for firearm sales, domestic violence, climate change, minimum wage increases and other issues.

The do-nothing strategy spearheaded by McConnell's office seems intentional, Democrats claim. Back in September, McConnell promised to be a "grim reaper" to any and all progressive legislation. But, as multiple Senators pointed out Wednesday, more than 275 of these "dead" bills cleared the House with bipartisan support.

In a press conference meant to highlight the "legislative graveyard" Tuesday morning, Stabenow said that the American people expect Congress to pass legislation "that will improve their lives and improve the lives of their families."

"Unfortunately, though, that is not what's happening because the Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has turned the Senate into a legislative graveyard," she added.

1. Instead of tweeting the pics...one of them should spend their minute stacking them up on the table..

...THIS is the work we've been doing for the people of this country. And just like Mitch McConnell abused his office to kill every BHO initiative, he's doing the same thing with these bills. So let's cut the crap about this House not doing it's job...look to the other side of the Rotunda for that chit.

3. I've been wondering about that.

If Moscow Mitch takes up impeachment in early January, won't that be out of order? Doesn't he have to catch up on the backlog first? Maybe the backlog was created just for the purpose of delaying impeachment. Mitch is evil, but not stupid.

4. excellent use of the twitter machine against Moscow Mitch and Twitler!
