For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.
What the hell happened to refusing any and all consent to any votes on anything?

This weekend and next there will be poignant reminders across the Bundesliga that it’s the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
A timely reminder of the horrors inflicted on innocent people by the Nazis.
