Democrats grumble about working Wednesday while the Senate is out

Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island complained Wednesday about having to attend a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing while the Senate is out.

The Judiciary Committee held a scheduled hearing on several of President Trump’s judicial nominees, including Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison Eid’s nomination to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S. Senate was out of session on Wednesday, which made Coons and Whitehouse unhappy that they still had to attend.
