Every Democrat on the committee should start their statement with

[Proud liberal 80]

“It’s sad that our priority is rushing through this nomination, but leader McConnell hasn’t passed a COVID relief bill in months.”

[Sherman A1]

1. Precisely

That is exactly what they should do.

[OrlandoDem2]

2. I thought Democrats wouldn't help provide a quorum.

[ananda]

3. I was hoping they wouldn't.

Dems can be just so weak when it comes
to playing hardball.

4. for the vote.

they cant skip the bbq.

5. Lee and Tillis are still showing up sick.

They don't care how many of their fellow senators they infect, or kill (especially Grassley), their Corporate Masters decreed that the Federalist Freak must be on SCOTUS as a bulwark for their precious Unregulated Free Market "Republicanism".
Moscow Mitch's entire political existence depends on thwarting progress for anyone without lots of money and packing the courts to protect rich F'ers.

6. Godd one.

Mine: Knowing the division around your nomination and having spoken out against nominating someone to the SC during an election year, Why did you accept this nomination? And, as the majority of Americans believe, upwards of 70% queried think you should step back and not accept this nomination until after the next duly elected President of the United States is chosen by the American people? Will you? You will not be viewed as legitimate in the eyes of the people. Do you understand that?

7. they should also object to the danger the chairman is placing them in

...make it clear how craven this effort is, beyond the fact that millions of Americans have already voted.

[Shermann]

8. I'd ask ACB about the Garland nomination again and again

Did the decision to block the nomination by the Republicans establish a legal precedent?

Did that decision form a verbal contract between the Senate and the voters?

Will the new SCOTUS be maximally representative of the 2020 electorate?

Does the unified White House and Senate provide adequate justification to break the contract and break from the precedent?

Let her justify her own existence with the best tone-deaf song and tap dance she can muster in front of a jaded, arms-crossed audience.
