Schumer sends McConnell back his own 2009 letter on nominations

[SlyPokerDog]

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is using Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's own words against him in a looming confirmation fight, sending the Kentucky Republican his own 2009 letter outlining nomination requirements.

Schumer said he sent McConnell the exact letter McConnell sent to then-Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in February 2009 about President Obama's nominees.

"In 2009, then-Minority Leader McConnell sent then-Majority Leader Reid a letter laying out his list of pre-requisites for time agreements on the floor for President Obama’s nominees," he said from the Senate floor. "They are almost exactly what Democrats have requested."

Because it doesn't matter. The democrats are just flailing around at this point; obstruction and trying to delegitimize Trump's win to make their sore butts feel better.

It's going to be a great 8 years.

Did the Democrats agree to the list in 2009?

Reid paid no attention to McConell's wishes. Why should McConell care what Schumer wants now?

The democrats passed the rules that the republicans are following. They approved more of Obama's nominees on day 1 than republicans intend to.
