Mr. SCHUMER. Would the Senator yield? I have brought an announcement to the floor that will take a brief minute. I don't mean to interrupt.

Mr. SCHUMER. I thank the Senator from Tennessee Notice of Intent

Mr. SCHUMER. I just want to put the Members on notice. Later this evening, I will make a motion to adjourn the Senate until after the November election.

The Republican majority refused to consider the Supreme Court nominee of a duly elected Democratic President because it was 8 months before the election. Now they are trying to ram through a Justice in mere days--days--before an election. It is the most rushed, the most partisan, the least legitimate nomination process in Supreme Court history, and it should not proceed.

So I want the Members to know that I will move to adjourn until after the election with the ability to come back into session if there is a bipartisan agreement on a COVID relief package.

I thank the Senator for letting me put Members on notice that we will do this later this evening.

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, our Republican majority refused to consider the Supreme Court nominee of the duly elected Democratic President on the supposed principle that the American people should have a voice in selecting their next Supreme Court Justice. Now they are moving forward with a Supreme Court nomination while the Presidential election is already under way.

This is the most rushed, most partisan, least legitimate Supreme Court nomination process in our Nation's history--in our Nation's entire history--and it should not proceed. Therefore, I will move to adjourn the Senate until after the November 3 election with the ability to come back into session if there is a bipartisan agreement on a COVID relief package.

Therefore, I move to adjourn and then convene for pro forma sessions only, with no business being conducted, at 12 noon on the following dates, and that, following each pro forma session, the Senate adjourn until the next pro forma session: Tuesday, October 20; Friday, October 23; Tuesday, October 27; Friday, October 30; Tuesday, November 3; Friday, November 6; that when the Senate adjourns on Friday, November 6, it reconvene at 4:30 p.m., Monday, November 9, and that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed.
