Police reform hits impasse in Senate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Senate is headed for a stalemate on police reform with the prospects for a bipartisan deal unraveling ahead of a Wednesday vote.

Almost a month after George Floyd's death sparked calls for changes to the country's law enforcement system, senators appear to be at an impasse with no obvious path toward breaking the logjam.

Democrats, absent an eleventh-hour breakthrough, are prepared to block the GOP police reform bill amid frustration with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) over the potential amendment process.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned that the Republican measure — spearheaded by Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), the only Black GOP senator — would not get the 60 votes needed to overcome a key procedural hurdle.

1. Of course not . .

All senate republicans want to do is confirm unqualified right wing nut job judges. They care less for the good of the country.

2. Senator Cory Booker called this

last night on MSNBC. He said it was a shame that McConell and Thune had organized to Steam Roller the Democrats.
