It could be that Schumer wants time to bargain for a deal. We give you Gorsuch in exchange for keeping the filibuster for the next vacancy.
That has been the talk, but Chuckie will probably be demanding some promise that they won't go nuclear on other nominations. Say No to Schumer!
That option has been on the table for weeks. That’s why is boggles peoples minds that the DIMs let it get to this point. They are basically blowing their one negotiation on a nominee whose election will not change the makeup of the court (electing a ‘Scalia’ to replace Scalia). But they squandered their chance.
Voting to go Reider!
