Sen. Tom Cotton: Democrats ‘Broke the Rules’ to Move Gupta Nomination ForwardKyle Morris 15 Apr 2021
Sen. Tom Cotton warned of consequences for Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats after he stated they “broke the rules†to advance the nomination of Vanita Gupta to serve as Associate Attorney General.
“I have to observe something independent of Ms. Gupta herself,†Cotton said in a speech Thursday. “The discharge petition filed today requires that there had been a valid, tied vote in committee. That is the rule that we all agreed on at the beginning of this Congress.â€
“Yet, Ms. Gupta still has not received a valid vote in the Committee,†Cotton added. “In fact, during the markup of her nomination, just minutes into my 15-minute remarks, the chairman of the Committee cut off my remarks mid-sentence and called for a vote in violation of the Committee’s rules.â€
