@marianne_levine Gorsuch + Roberts also may have saved the Congress from dealing with this issue, specifically a divided Republican Party. Grassley: "It probably makes uniform what a lot of states have already done. And probably negates Congress’s necessity for acting" — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Nine 9 GOP senators supported Employment Non-Discrimination Act in 2013. And just four of them are left. But GOP (mostly) supportive of SCOTUS decision today “It demonstrated Gorsuch’s independence,” said Sen. Thune. “The country’s obviously changed a lot on that issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Conservatives are seething over Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion that cemented new protections for LGBTQ people. The Senate Republicans that confirmed him? Not so much. Conservative Sen. Fischer: “I’m fine with it.” @marianne_levine https://t.co/5WZEIcv7Gn — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate is unlikely to take up a police reform bill until after the Independence Day recess, Republican leaders said on Monday, raising the prospect that it could be a month or longer before a measure heads to President Trump’s desk. @AndrewDesiderio https://t.co/ecWGxcHCXI — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Majority Whip John Thune says “at this moment probably unlikely” that Senate takes up police reform before July 4. Then there’s a two-week recess and they’ll have to turn to coronavirus bill. Big time pile- up coming unless they cancel recesses — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic leaders were perplexed by Sanders’ intervention. Durbin: “Bernie may have made some promise to someone along the way.” “She is in the mainstream of Democratic thinking, and I think is very electable in the commonwealth of Kentucky,” he said of McGrath — PolitiTweet.org

“I don't know that I’ve ever seen a race where somebody has this much money and seems to be struggling,” Matt Jones said of McGrath. Sanders when asked why he weighed in. “We’re going to support progressive candidates who are fighting for the issues that we believe in” — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m not, as Mr. Booker claims, 'a pro-Trump Democrat.' I’m pro-Kentucky and pro-America,” McGrath said, dinging Booker for talking big on issues but not leading. “It’s really disappointing that I’m the only candidate in the Democratic primary that has the integrity to lead“ — PolitiTweet.org
