How about applying the Senator TURTLE Doctrine to MANCHIN-SINEMA?

[UTUSN]

Turtle blocked President OBAMA's SCotUS nomination with the out-of-his-hat dictum that it should be delayed until after the Election.

How about if MANCHIN-SINEMA be suspended in some way until after they face and campaign specifically on the issues that they are obstructing with?


**** Yea yeah, it can't happen, although it seems that there's always a way when somebody has clout enough to make it happen.

**** While we're at it, what about all these "rules" whereby one congresscritter can block, bring everything to a standstill, obscure "parlimentarian" can carve out legislation.

Not to mention the Electoral College and all manner of archaic, anti-democracy, and anti-accomplishment knickknacks we are tied up in knots with?

1. He was the majority leader and controlled the sxhedule

The constitution does not have a provision for the suspension of Senators

[UTUSN]

2. Yea, what I said. The Constitution also doesn't have lots of stuff that rules us.

3. uh, wouldn't that block us from doing ANYTHING? 'suspend' them and we have 48

and can't even confirm judges.

[UTUSN]

4. Dreams ain't literal.
