Well, it’s a start, but I’m not breathing easily, yet. We still have to wait for the vote, and there are still far too many RINOs in the Senate...

The rule had never been applied against a supreme court nomination before. There was no need for it. The lower court filibuster the Rats nuked, that’s a different story.

I suspect there won’t be many comments on this thread. A whole bunch of Freepers who were venting about a betrayal by the GOP on this are probably getting medical attention for their anxiety and angst over the last few days. /sarcasm off/

Kind of surprised that McConnell was able to hold all the Republicans together.
