If and when the shoe is on the other foot Dingy Harry will squeal like a stuck pig about the "up-or-down vote" if the Republicans don't cave and restore the filibuster.

Reid better watch his step from now on. His butt will be a target when we get the Senate. Career over and a target for criminal activities he has committed in Nevada.

Since President Obama took office, Senate Republicans have done everything possible to deny qualified nominees from receiving a fair up-or-down vote. President Obama did the right thing when he made these appointments on behalf of American workers. The National Labor Relations Board had ceased to function due to Senate Republican obstruction of these three qualified nominees, threatening the livelihood and safety of working men and women throughout the country, Reid said in a statement.
Thuggish evil hack.

George Soros is a foreign-born billionaire who is the single largest funder of many Anti-American groups: Move-On.org, Democracy Alliance, Media Matters, Health Care for America Now, Center for American Progress, and Campaign for Americas Future, just to name a few. Soros wants to destroy the principles America was founded upon and turn it into a socialist paradise. Soros is a convicted inside trader who supports open borders, gay rights, abortion rights, increased union power and is hostile to the free enterprise system, even though he made billions off of it. He made his money in a very unethical and, many believe, illegal way international currency speculation and manipulation. Some believe his fortune was made from drug smuggling since his empire is based offshore in the Netherlands Antilles; the CIA describes this location as a transshipment point for South American drugs bound for the US and Europe; moneylaundering center. (9) But Soross shady background did not dissuade Reid from taking money from him. Since becoming the Senate Minority leader in 2005 and then the Majority leader in 2007, Reid has had operational control of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. While fundraising for the DSCC, Reid took over $220,000 from Soros, the Soros Fund Management, and various Soros family members. Reid answers to Soros and Obama and we all know those two put out their little worms to say nothing is right but what Obama says and does..so the worm Reid makes the statement he did..

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the ruling just underscored how important it was for him to drop the nuclear option last fall and lower the cloture threshold for approving Obamas judicial nominees.
Who paid reid to say this? His voice is always for sale if the price is right.

Worm is a most appropriate description of Reid.
He, Soros, NV organized crime and unions are one slimy family.

I agree there should be the "nuclear option"...let's start with Hemorrhoid Reid's office.

I’m sure this bass turd is on record denouncing the nuclear option when Bush was in office and the dems in the minority in the Senate.
Of course, they are never embarrassed by their hypocrisy.

One has nothing to do with the other. All POTUS did is say that a pro-firma session is a session. This is a case of first impression.
Look. As I have made clear I’ve got nothing but contempt for the Dims and ODimwit ... but we way too often just go with a headline and fail to understand a ruling or implication of a ruling. If we ever (in the short window remaining) hope to “take our nation back” we need to understand fact and nuance, even the one(s) we don’t like.
Analysis is much more than a headline or slogan or exclamation and CERTAINLY much more than spin.
To: MrB
Yep the hypocritical turkey is on record denouncing it.
excrpt:
” The Washington Free Beacon reports that in 2008, Reid denounced Republican consideration of the “nuclear option” and vowed that he would never use it:
As long as I am the Leader, the answers no, he said. I think we should just forget that. That is a black chapter in the history of the Senate. I hope we never, ever get to that again because I really do believe it will ruin our country.”

He’ll never be asked about it by any major news organization,
and even if he was asked, he could lie and they wouldn’t follow up.

Whether one has nothing to do with the other or not this article is about what Dingy Harry said regarding this SCOTUS ruling.

Not kidding, especially because my mother died of Alzheimers, but I think Harry Reid is in its relatively early stages. He certainly is developing dementia of some variety.
