Klobuchar apologizes for last week's disaster but messes up AGAIN within the first minute of committee!
Jonah Goldberg // October 17th 2022
Sitting in the Judiciary Committee sessions is guaranteed entertainment … for the wrong reasons. Senator Klobuchar STILL has no idea what she is doing, clearly has barely read/ simply failed to comprehend the rule book, and even messed up on SIMPLE tasks. Here is a brief recap of her inability to do her job.
During the first roll call vote, the names of the Senators were read out of order. Additionally, Senator Romney was excluded from the roll call and was excluded repeatedly during several other votes. Later in the meeting Klobuchar was not paying attention to the responses of a roll call vote (to move to voting on the Bill) and managed to miscount them.Then after several moments of confusion about the rules, Klobuchar proceeds to take an out-of-order motion (a motion to reconsider from a member NOT on the prevailing side of the vote).
Additionally Senator Markey, ranking member, made several unprofessional and rude comments attacking the Republican party after getting emotional over differences in opinion. Following Senator Sasse’s question about what time it was, Senator Markey mocks him by pointing out “I think you’re wearing a watch”. This emotional response to Sasse’s vocal and valid disagreement with the Marriage Bill, became more and more apparent throughout the meeting. Senator Markery was also unable to get past Senator Sasse's use of an inclusive ‘we’ to reference the committee, and felt the need to yell “we?” in the middle of Sasse speaking. Senator Markey is clearly incapable of controlling his emotions and maintaining a professional attitude.
Further, Markey, alongside other members of the Democratic Party, revealed an inability and unwillingness to achieve bi-partisan legislation. The Democratic Party repeatedly shut down amendment ideas from the Republican Party and expressed zero interest in compromise. This meeting was an insult to the time of the members and the formal Senate processes. And I encourage all members, within both parties, to enter future meetings with the intention of compromising with their colleagues on the other side. Bi-partisanship is at the best interest of the American people, and should be taken seriously. I also encourage Senator Klobuchar, to not only review the rules so that she may do her job more efficiently, but to lead her party members in the direction of bi-partisanship.
