This resolution concerns a pro se civil action filed in Kentucky federal district court against Senator McConnell, Vice President Biden, and Senate Sergeant at Arms Gainer. Plaintiff claims that the Senate cloture rule is unconstitutional. This lawsuit, like previous suits challenging the cloture rule, is subject to jurisdictional defenses requiring dismissal. This resolution would authorize the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Senator McConnell, Vice President Biden, and Sergeant at Arms Gainer to seek dismissal of this suit.
