Small businesses are quietly closing their doors all across the country. For months, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and congressional Democrats have promised to provide them additional federal relief. But they have done absolutely nothing to make good on their word.

Last week was no different. As Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee attempted and failed to put a dent in Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s impressive resume, they wasted no time in using the opportunity to grandstand once again. With hyperbole ranging from “illegitimate process” to “sham hearing,” my Democratic colleagues sought to delegitimize the proceedings, calling on Senate Republicans to delay Barrett’s nomination and instead bring additional COVID-19 relief up for a vote.
