Thanks to a Republican vote to stop California from setting its own auto emissions, Democrats can challenge virtually any Trump administration action, and eat up time on the Senate floor.

I asked Phillips on Monday whether he had gotten any feedback from Democrats in Washington about his idea. He hadn’t. But we know they’re aware of it; they have said it out loud. They could start the campaign any day now.

Let me know when they start on that, thanks. If we’re relying on Schumer for this, it’s going to be a long wait.

I appreciate it. I almost got my hopes up.

Schumer loves to grandstand, so I'm sure he'll give a long speech explaining why Democrats need to stop Trump at all costs... right after he's voted to end debate on the bill.

if we are relying on schumer or pelosi then there is no need to wait. they are more pathetic & cravens than a lot of republicans.
