The Dems feel it is "urgent and important because Trump is actively seeking foreign countries to interfere in our election".
McConnell said essentially, "We are going to coordinate with the Whitehouse(defendant Trump) and do as they(Trump) would like". It is suppose to be a Senate TRIAL.
The Dems say they feel it is serious and urgent, why would they pass it over to a guy that won't treat it serious and worse, asks the defendant how to proceed.
I would say it is fine for Mitch to conclude after the House hearings that he has his decision made already, those in the house did. He still needs to hold an honest hearing that doesn't exonerate the accused before the trial. Without an agreement to at least that, why would they hand it to Mitch.
The same Mitch that calls the dems, "do nothing" while failing to bring to the floor almost 300 House passed bills. Who is really, "do nothing"? That is also 5he same Mitch that said of Obama, "We are going to say no to everything and make him a do nothing President". Yes, the Senate has approved justices, a lot, but Mitch is the true, "do nothing" guy.
