Hoyer pigeonholes voting rights...
"Hurdles"
Why the bleep would a Democratic congress allow such hearings?

Come on!
By who? remember, how Mitch McConnell sped Kavanaugh through despite not passing the judiciary committee and all this other nonsense?
If only, Pelosi treated the Patriot act like she treated single payer...
