Why do you say that they are a bunch of partisan bills.  Did you even
look at the list in the link I provided to you?
 
 DS> pro-democracy reform known as H.R.1, to bills to save net neutrality,
 DS> pass universal background checks for guns, and reenter the United States
 DS> into the Paris climate accords.

 AT> These all sound partisan to me. Aren't they?

Why is net neutrality a partisan bill, or background checks (which Trump
said he supported), or the Paris accords?

 AT> Maybe McConnell doesn't
 AT> think it's fair for House Republicans to be muted while opening up the
 AT> Senate for a partisan takeover?

They have not been muted.  They have been right there in all of the
procedings.

 AT> I don't know - I'm just guessing. Why else wouldn't he want the Senate
 AT> to vote on this stuff?

Because he does not want to allow the Democratic controlled House to be
allowed to do anything, just as he did not want the Democratic President
to be allowed to perform one of his most important Constitutional duties
of naming a  SCOTUS for confirmation.
