Monday on MSNBC while discussing Senate Democrats opposition to President Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republicans have “no other choice” than the nuclear option of lowering the 60-vote filibuster threshold for a Supreme Court nominee to a simple majority.

Linda ? Really ?
Interesting - the “snippet radio news” businss keeps playing the clip where Lindsay says what a shame it would be to “politicize judiciary” with a simple majority approval system.
Obeying the boss McInsane.
Fortunately these two kooks are CORRECT this time.
Hmmm???
SInce the election Linda Grahamnesty and Juan McLame have been acting downright crazy, Constantly going after Trump. It appears ALL that ended the Day Devin Nunes announced his visit to the White House to view the classified Intel.
Now they do an abrupt 180??? They sure seem awful scared about something.
I thought the same thing.
Trump knows his enemies are in danger of overreaching themselves.
I suspect many of the” leaks” have come from Trump himself as he makes an effort to smoke out the traitors.
The man is a genius, and I do not use that word lightly. He has been two steps ahead of everyone else since June 2015.
Linda and McKook will try to mess this up.
Best thing that can happen is nuclear on this nominee so we don’t have to have the fight when Trump appoints Cruz or equivalent.
Best. Election. Ever.
So. Much. Winning!
We. Won!
Nuke Democrats from Space...
...at EVERY opportunity FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS!
That is all. :)
“He has been two steps ahead of everyone else since June 2015.”
He truly has. Lucky us! :)
I suspect Graham knows damn well that the Obama administration's surveillance extended to ALL the GOP candidates in 2016 -- including him.
Fine. Do it already. Problem solved.
What’s really sad here is that Gorsuch is thought of as an OK nominee by more than a few democrats. He would get 60 plus votes if it were not for that a-hole Chuck U. lining up votes against Gorsuch just to be a PITA.
Petty little beyotch dems are still sulking cause they didn’t get to vote in Obammie’s pick for the SC justice. So now they are playing payback.
“Republicans have “no other choice” than the nuclear option”
Of course they have. Open debate and make Schumer hold the floor until
he can’t.
This is clearly an important species we’re dealing with, and I don’t think you or I or anybody has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
He just likes that word.
Filibuster rule, 60 vote rule: any of these Senate rules and procedures that aren't dictated by the Constitution, I could really care less about.
Enough with these artifices. Let's do some governing.
I, for one, am not concerned about the Democrats whenever they tale power again. The government should be able to function efficiently regardless of which party is in power.
A simple majority vote is perfectly fine for the vast majority of Senate decisions. If it's good enough to pass a law, it should be good enough to confirm a Supreme Court Justice.
Filibuster, schmilibuster...
lololol
