But, but, but………
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is leading a filibuster against Judge Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court arguing that recent high court nominees have all reached a 60-vote threshold, so Gorsuch should too.
At a 2013 press conference, however, Schumer was singing a different tune – saying that Democrats prefer up-or-down votes “no matter who's in power.”
“We much prefer the risk of up-or-down votes in majority rule, then the risk of continued total obstruction,” he said. “That is the bottom line, no matter who's in power,” he said at a press conference.
