Extreme Left Pushes Schumer to Employ Delay Tactics

 

The Intercept posts an article describing the strategy and activism of groups relying on Senator Schumer of NY to prevent the confirmation of SCOTUS nominee ACB through delaying tactics.

Particularly active in the effort is a group called "Indivisible."

"A memo circulating on Capitol Hill, put together by several people with knowledge of congressional procedure and obtained by The Intercept, lays out some of the options that could be available to Schumer even in the face of a determined Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Senators looking to obstruct in the Senate have a dizzying array of opportunities, but a majority leader with 50 votes, plus a tie-breaking vice president, also has an extraordinary amount of power in the upper chamber. Elements of the memo were first published earlier Thursday by the Daily Poster."
