Shut down the Senate: Stop Trump and McConnell from picking RBG's successor!
Use every procedural option available to you to shut down the Senate and make sure Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell do not get to pick Ruth Bader Ginsburg's successor on the Supreme Court.
Why is this important?
This is a frankly terrifying moment. But there is a path forward. Senate Democrats have the power and the leverage to prevent Trump and McConnell from deciding who will succeed Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
The Senate runs on unanimous consent. If a single Senator objects to anything, even routine procedure, everything grinds to a halt. That is what Senate Democrats must do: block unanimous consent on every single thing for the rest of the year. It may be our best chance to stop Trump and McConnell.
Senate Democrats can block every motion, force every bill to be read in full, and use a wide range of parliamentary tactics to shut down the Senate between now and January, when new Senators and the president are inaugurated. Will you help?
