  1. Bravo for pointing out :

    “there can not be one set of rules for Republicans and a different set for Democrats”

  2. >In reply, Cotton added: “Now I guess Senator Durbin isn’t going to allow women to speak. I thought that was sacrosanct in your party.”

    GOP translation of this backhanded comment: “Democratic Party lets itself be led around by women.”

  3. Good. If the Republicans keep doing to Democrats, they should get the same treatment in return.

  4. Good for Durbin. He’s right. The GOP has been doing this shit for several terms when they had the majority – can’t have two sets of rules.

  5. Oh! Democrats playing by Republican “rules”. The Republicans will be completely outraged by that.

  6. Republicans hate when you use their own tactics against them lol. Fucking snowflakes.

  7. I never heard so many pathetic winy Republican shit bags at that hearing before . They are really a deplorable bunch of idiot clowns.

  8. Thank you, Senator Dick Durbin for standing up for GOP obstruction.

  9. Graham : Well I do declare, how dare they they use our tactics against us. I’m getting the vapors, where is my fainting couch ..

  10. “How dare you use my own tactics against me!”

  11. Durbin has been absolutely killing it lately on judges. We got 5 new judges just in this week:

    Jeffrey Bryan, Margaret Garnett, Micah Smith, Jamel Semper, and Shanlyn Park

    Keep ’em coming. Slowly but surely we will heal the judiciary.

    And remember that good judicial appointees is one of the most important reasons to reelect Biden in 2024

  12. Republicans: “How dare you do the same sleazy shit we do all the time?!”

  13. I have been saying the best way to stop Republican fuckery is to use the same tactics they use, but better. Once Republicans can’t use bs to their advantage, they start making rules against it.

  14. Look at the end of the day politics is about compromise and strategy. The Republicans cut out Democrats when Trump was nominating justices. It’s fuckin high time Democrats fight back. They need to make the GOP earn their turn. Make them earn it! Make them think next time they cut us out.

  15. Good. Taking the high road doesn’t do any good when the other side doesn’t care and wants to destroy our democracy.

  16. They don’t actually care about speaking, they just want to slow down the confirmation process.

    It nice to see the Democrats not sabotaging themselves in judicial confirmation for once. Now they need to start using republican blue slip guidelines.

  17. There are run off elections in some places vote. Local and special and state elections happen all over the USA. They are not confined to election day and there are primaries as well. Pay attention and vote out republicans whenever you can and primary out uncooperative democrats.

  18. Republicans are like entitled white college kids demanding to be allowed to turn their paper in late because they were on spring break

  19. “And you set a precedent which will be repeated. Any time one party or the other takes advantage and takes the low road it sets a precedent that will then become a norm.”

    Yes you stupid fuck, this is what happened because of what REPUBLICANS did. It’s amazing how fucking stupid these people are

  20. It’s rich to hear Lindsey graham whine about this after blocking merrick garland during Obama’s term and swearing that if it happened while a Republican was president he would block as well. Well it happened for Trump just 4 years later and graham didn’t block of course.

  21. video was hilarious Durbin wasn’t having any of their shit go Illinois !

  22. We need more of this. Stop the Republicans WWE act in its tracks and play by the rules they set forth.
