It surprises me when they tell the truth.

I would imagine that if the R’s win back the Senate then the dims will just change the rules back before they give up the majority in Jan 2015.

To hell with procedural calls. I said this on another thread and I say it again: It is time for a freakin' REVOLUTION. I'm not just talking out my butt, I'm serious folks. If someone who has the influence, the media outlet and the wherewithal to organize a full-scale March/Revolution to march on, and shut-down, Washington D.C., I'd get there if I had to hitch-hike. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We need a REVOLUTION

“I would imagine that if the R’s win back the Senate then the dims will just change the rules back before they give up the majority in Jan 2015.”

Exactly correct. The Donkeys have already indicated they will do this. The Donkeys in the Senate should all be indicted on RICO charges (and quite a few of the RINOs). Mitch McConnellMCCain, Graham, and the other RINOs have been blind sided by their buddies from across the aisle. Like abused spouses, they will rollover and become docile tools of the Donkeys. RINOs are without spines, cajones, and principles. All they want is loot, the trappings of power, and perks. The U.S. Senate is a criminal enterprise.

You know the Dims in the Senate have managed one thing the Pubs could not ever (as far as I know)manage in recent years and that is a high level of cohesive voting. They seem to vote as a block every time while the pubs are fighting over in the corner.

So, in lieu of this, someone that knows sumpthin, please tell me why the pubs should even show up from now on. My god! Go fishing. Your vote absolutely does not matter! And, if anybody thinks this will be limited to just appeals of appeal judges appointments, I have a bridge to sell you! The Senate, as a functioning institution simply does not exist. As Bill Oreilly would say........”am I wrong?”

They are aware of that possibility, and are relying on Republicans to agree to reinstate the filibuster. What they need to do is pass legislation limiting the jurisdiction of the leftists they just approved and adding hundreds of new judgeships that they will confirm with 50 votes.

Oh, goody, newbie. Says here you joined FR on 29 Oct 2013. My guess is that you’re what the left used to call the agent provocateur, the mole inserted into an organization to create mayhem and incite violence for the purpose of having the authorities slam down hard. The establishment left, including those in control of the nation’s capital, would love to focus the power of the federal government against citizen groups like Free Republic.

If you’re not an outside troublemaker, I’d suggest using your head and working with a strategy.

The mortal wounds will be applied by democrats very soon with the nuclear option. All sorts of left wing judges will now sail through the democrat majority senate. The effect will last many decades. McConnell should have displayed more of a fight than he did. If Cruz was the minority leader, you would have observed a much different resistance.

It is filling vacancies. The republicans position has benn for a while, that the judgeship positions should be transferred to appellate courts with higher workloads - the DC court having about a quarter the workload per judge as some of the other appeals courts, even with these vacancies.

Hence the conclusion that Obama is just trying to pack the court - especially since the impetus to get judges seated appears to correlate with his losing rulings.

We have serious problems.

We have a relentless and insatiable mortal enemy, and most of it’s victims have no clue what is going on and actually support their mortal enemy.

This is gonna get real damn bad, real damn soon.

OK, I can do that. Now, tell me what is the strategy. Because what the Republicans in Washington are doing isn’t working. They talk a big game every once in awhile and then they give in like an unpaid whore. So, are you saying that we just sit back and let Obama, the Democrats, the Liberals and the main stream media keep screwing us and telling us that we like it?

Well as I have said to others on this subject, the Article V solution Mark Levin has proposed is the last possible civil solution in my eyes.

These damn criminals aren’t going to reign themselves in, so we must do it, and that is a civil method that can and should be employed.

Beyond that, I think we can all see where this is going to end up.

They had the votes, we didn’t. The outcome would have not been different no matter who carried our ball.

I disagree. McConnell hardly put up any resistance. He is not showing up on TV channels talking about this. If Cruz or Lee or Paul were the minority leaders, they would be getting their face on every news network to explain what the democraps have done, and expose all their hypocrisy & speeches opposing the nuclear option some years back. McConnell? Nothing! Besides he has the charisma of a old and sick turtle.
