The democrat fools are going to step on their own tails by bumping refugee immigration ban off the news by TRYING to filibuster SCOTUS nominee, triggering the nuclear option, which will green light ALL future Trump judicial appointments.

Not tired of WINNING yet.

Back in 2012 Senator Indian Princess had this to say:
After her election to the Senate in 2012, Elizabeth Warren (D.-Mass.) declared that on her first day as a senator she would attempt to amend the Senate rules in this way: “On the first day of the new session in January, the senators will have a unique opportunity to change the filibuster rule with a majority vote, rather than the normal two-thirds vote. The change can be modest: If someone objects to a bill or a nomination in the United States Senate, they should have to stand on the floor of the chamber and defend their opposition.”

A majority vote is democracy, r-r-right?
So what’s the problem? Let them speak ...
Then gut them like squirrels.

McConnell has one job here: Invoke the Reid rule and blow their filibuster attempts to smithereens.

Stop the debate, go nuclear, and approve him or her. if they’re qualified, of course. Put an end to that nonsense.

Once things are settled down in a year or so, pass a LAW that requires a specific majority for certain positions, but not until the important appointments and nominees are approved.

Another point worth making is that there’s no law that says the Supreme Court must have 9 members. Trump can appoint 3 people and have an 11-member court if he wants. Yes there’ll be backlash about “stacking the court”, but it is legal.

Fools....It won’t happen. two cases have already burned Obama with just 8 judges. 9 judges changes the odds.

Wasn’t there an ELECTION...didn’t the people express their choices. Then why can’t Washington D.C. move forward with the choices that the people had made at ballot boxes. Why stall? Why obstruct..

Garland—together with Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsburg, and Breyer—would have been a DISASTER!!!!

The Dims must not be allowed to block or delay our President’s appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice in the tradition of Antonin Scalia!!!!

Ann Coulter should be the nominee. Make the Dems’s heads explode before they even start to filibuster.
