AOC and Schumer say 'all options are on the table' to stall nomination

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have united to blast Mitch McConnell's 'blatant, nasty hypocrisy' over the Supreme Court pick and to urge voters to pressure GOP senators into delaying Donald Trump's nominee until after the election.

AOC and Schumer joined forces for a press conference Sunday night outside James Madison High School in Brooklyn, that both Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Schumer attended.

The two Democrats warned that the rights of Americans are at risk if Trump plows ahead with his plans to appoint a new justice before the election and urged people to call their Senators and demand they respect Ginsburg's dying wish.

They said 'all options are now on the table' to stall Trump's Supreme Court nomination, including pursuing the impeachment of the president and AG Bill Barr.

1. Good. Use every means available.

2. What options?

Seriously, they really have no options other than not advancing the short term fix to avoid a shutdown and Pelosi already has stated she will not leverage a shutdown to avoid a confirmation vote.

Impeachment would be a complete waste of time as the Senate would just table it until after the election to see if it still applied (i.e. Trump won re-election). The exercise would not delay a confirmation process by 1 hour.

The only obstacles before the election is the calendar crunch, the polling trends for vulnerable senators and whether Mitch wants to prevent the 23 GOP senators up this cycle from being able to campaign.

3. Saw it live on CNN.

Interestingly, AOC took an audience question in Spanish and offered a long answer in Spanish. Might persuade some undecided Latinx voters.
