Senate Republicans aired Frustrations Tuesday, after Vice President-Elect Vance (R-OH)) and other Party Members skipped Votes Monday, greasing the skids for Democratic-backed Judicial Nominees, to be Greenlighted as part of a Final push to fill the Bench with Lifetime Appointees before Trump (R) takes office.
Republicans on Monday, attempted to Slow Down an effort by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY),to Advance more than a Dozen Judicial Nominees, which Democrats have Prioritized before ceding Power at year’s end.
However, they were Unable to Stop them as a Handful of their GOP Colleagues did Not show up to the Capitol for Votes, which stretched until close to Midnight.
Headlining that Group were Vance and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Trump’s choice to Lead the State Department, angering GOP Members during their weekly Tuesday Policy Luncheon.
“If we don’t show up, we lose,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who was visibly Frustrated by the Lack of Attendance and spoke out at lunch. “I don’t care what the reasons were. We have fewer than 15 scheduled legislative days. You have to show up. Period. End of story. There’s nothing more important.”
The Group of Nominees includes Embry Kidd, who was Confirmed to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in a 49 to 45 Vote.
GOP Members were Incensed at the No-Shows, which stretched into Tuesday, as Vance did Not Show-Up for the Morning Vote.
Other Senators, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN), tagged along with Trump to the SpaceX Starship Launch in Brownsville, Texas, further Exacerbating the Situation, as Schumer prepared to hold another Long Night of Nomination Votes on Tuesday.
