Don’t set false expectations for Democrats here. They LITERALLY do not have the power to stop this.
Yes they should fight. (@SenSchumer: we have your back!) But the only weapon is rhetoric. They (we) need to convince 2+ GOP Senators to ACTUALLY stop this. /1
Dems have no more power than when they tried to filibuster Gorsuch and McConnell changed the Senate rules. /2
YES fight. YES pressure. YES have the Democrats’ back. But we have to understand that they have no real recourse here. /3
Pressure THEM.
SUPPORT the @SenateDems as they try to win in the court of public opinion.
I agree with Chris Matthews’ passion. But his argument holds no merit.
