EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: “My response is, damn straight we’re blocking these nominees. And we can’t really block them. The rules don’t let us prevent them, but we can use every tool in the toolbox to delay them. And we have. So, John Thune goes up on the floor crying almost, and he says Schumer has done something unprecedented. He has — he has not given us a single pass on one of the nominees that we have done, zero, it says in his big chart. I said, you’re damn straight. Historically bad nominees need a historic response. And so, we did. We blocked them all and they were frustrated.”
