Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin said he and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will discuss what Democrats will do in the upcoming weeks so their members do not provide a quorum during confirmation proceedings of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

Durbin told the Washington Examiner on Monday he knew of no strategy by Democrats to boycott a final floor vote of Barrett’s confirmation and said he planned to cast his vote during the final floor vote.
