McConnell warns Senate it could work through Christmas break

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday warned that the Senate will be in session between Christmas and New Years to finish their work for the year unless senators agree to fast-track some items on their to-do list.

"Members should now be prepared to work between Christmas and New Years, if necessary, to complete our work," McConnell said from the Senate floor.

He added that without an agreement among senators to speed up the time it takes to work through a piece of legislation it is "virtually certain" they will need to stay in Washington.

"Unless we approach all this work in a highly collaborative, productive way and take real advantage of unanimous consent to expedite proceedings, it is virtually certain that the Senate will need to be in session between Christmas and New Years in order to complete this work," McConnell added.

3. Two words for McConnell: Justice Garland

Senate Democrats should commit themselves NOW to be as obstructive and obstreperous as humanly possible for the next three weeks. If McConnell wants collaboration and production, he should have thought of that three years ago. Not one nomination confirmed, not one bill passed. If McConnell doesn't like it, tough.
