Late Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced a brilliant plan to stall Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court: he and other prominent Democrats say they are considering simply not showing up to vote on passing Barrett out of committee, denying Republicans the quorum needed to send Barrett’s nomination to the Senate floor.
Speaking to reporters Sunday, Schumer called Barrett’s nomination “illegitimate, dangerous, and unpopular” and, while acknowledging that it may not be possible to stop Barrett’s confirmation, suggested that Democrats will try to stall the process any way they can.
