So does get Schumer get a Pass Now

That's just self-serving pub spin. My guess is we need someone better if that someone is willing. Been disappointed in Jefferies, as well.
 
He introduced the Senate Bill to release the Epstein files, after orangeman did not want it, Mike Johnson did not want it, thune did not want it. Obviously he knew he had broken their back when Orangeturd reversed the day before.. Thune was not even on the floor he was so damn embarrassed
 
Schumer is well-versed in the operations of the Senate and is a good Majority Leader.

He has been in DC for almost 45 years, he's become so much a part of the established government order that he has no idea how to be even a decent Minority Leader.

Yeah, he can outmaneuver folks on a procedural basis once in a while as head of the minority party, but he overall isn't really ready to attack the way a good Minority Leader should do.

So, no, he doesn't get a pass for doing one good small thing while largely failing at his current position.
 
You know I get it stuff doesn't work like this-but tommorow he should step down and let the Dem Senate get someone in place for the 2026 race-for ACA subsidies
 
According to Lawrence O'Donnell (well versed in Senate procedures from his time on Moynihan's staff), Schumer didn't outmaneuver anyone. Thune was MIA by choice. I think the play here is for Pam Bondi to block the release.

"From 1989 to 1995, O'Donnell was a legislative aide to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.[5] He served as senior adviser to Moynihan from 1989 to 1991, then as staff director of two senate committees that Moynihan was chairing: Environment and Public Works from 1992 to 1993, and Finance from 1993 to 1995.[10]"

I remember Daniel Patrick Moynihan as someone who would get hip- or shoulder-deep into legislation details.

I don’t remember him as being a senator who excelled in or relished knowing and using the arcane Senate rules.

He might have been such a Senator. I don’t remember him as a parliamentary power.
