“Nobody likes to lose, but we have to respect the judgment of the American people, the voters,” Cornyn said. “So I don’t support, I don’t endorse, I don’t really like just making a show just to make a show.” ...
This is not unprecedented. A few House Democrats attempted to do the same thing in 2017 and in 2001, but both times, no Senate Democrat would go along. This did advance to debate in both 1969 and 2005, but both times the objections were rejected.
“You have to have senators join them, and we saw House members object four years ago, and no senator stood up and objected,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri.”
