Heated exchange during Senate Judiciary Cmte. roll call vote. Chair Senator Dick Durbin dismisses calls by committee Republicans to debate two judicial nominations. Sen. Senator John Cornyn: "Mr. Chairman you just destroyed one of the most important committees in the United States Senate."

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn If they missed the 1st, and 2nd debate. That’s on them. They should have showed up to work

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn Term limits asap. Congress is broken

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn GOP Senators skip work and then complain about what they missed.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn Oh for God's sake! If these Republicans wanted to speak so badly, they would have shown up for the first 2 times! These Republicans are childish and not serious people. 🙄

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn No doubt these Republicans will be on Fox screaming about not getting to speak, but leaving out the part where they already had two debates on these nominees.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn Communism at its best.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn They’d already debated and voted on the nominees. Durbin is trying not to waste more time and get the People’s work done.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn They come to work when they want & complain when they can’t stop the show. I am so tired of the clown show republicans. They actually planned this you can obviously tell their game plan. House & senate republicans can’t govern at all. They just perform for trump & Maga base.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn @cspan can you actually report on what transpired? Why did he dismiss their calls for debate? Oh, because the nominees were debates on twice and those folks didn’t show up for the debate…do better.

@SenatorDurbin @JohnCornyn Socialist Dems. Don’t care anymore.
