Harry Reid said the Democrats if they won the Senate they would get rid of the Filibuster

They just knew Hillary would win

Mc Connell you better

Nuclear option is the only way. Dingy Harry already killed the filibuster for everything else, it’s time for this to go too. The very notion that the Rats will go along peaceably knowing what it means to the Court is laughable.

Kill the filibuster, then pass Trump’s nominee. Gotta do it!

"Go nuclear."

Having been without any for such a long time, the Republican senators will need a supply of these in extra-extra-large.

Go nuclear and appoint Janice Rogers Brown. There will be some entertainment value in seeing the Dem’s try to lynch a highly qualified black woman only to have her jammed down their throats on a party line vote. Then the Republicans can claim credit for the first black woman on the Court.

I have a different theory...I am not in favor of the nuclear option, because it will inevitably bite you the next time the Dems hold the Presidency.

So I think they should allow the filibuster, but the old fashioned way...make ‘em talk 24/7. Bring Washington legislation to a halt. Make it *the* 2018 campaign issue, with 25 Democrat Senator seats up for grabs. If they somehow wrangle a recess, fill it with a recess appointment. If, after the 2018 election, 60 Senators are still not reached for the Republicans, then consider going nuclear.
