    We can take a look at what Republicans do without a majority: stall for time, attack the moral character of the opposition, find loopholes in the procedural process that you’re technically not disallowed to do but annoy the shit out of everyone, and generally be as obstructionist as possible.

      The article is about Trump ignoring the law. How do they change that by doing the things you listed?

        I wasn’t referring to the article, I was referring to what Senate Democrats can do in the current situation. At bare minimum, that can do what they were elected for as the opposition party. We don’t get even a noteworthy fraction of that, let alone extralegal measures.

          As a party, democrats have voted against all of Trumps cabinet picks.

          Blaming “Senate Democrats” for the votes of outliers like Fetterman who vote against party lines is disingenuous.
