Easy call on that one.
I think destroying the filibuster would be a great accomplishment.
MAGA!

If the Republicans won’t go nuclear for Trump on the Supreme Court, the conservatives need to go nuclear on them. And I mean H-bomb.
I just love our new President!! Who knew I’d see someone like this in the White House in my lifetime...
the dems were going to do this...now we can.....add seats..Article III of the United States Constitution does not specify the number of justices. The Judiciary Act of 1789 called for the appointment of six justices, and as the nation’s boundaries grew, Congress added justices to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits: seven in 1807, nine in 1837, and ten in 1863.
In 1866, at the behest of Chief Justice Chase, Congress passed an act providing that the next three justices to retire would not be replaced, which would thin the bench to seven justices by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. In 1869, however, the Circuit Judges Act returned the number of justices to nine,[68] where it has since remained
McCain and Graham are already saying they “won’t be pressured” in participating in the “Nuclear Option.”
Harry Reid is gonna get whacked by his own party.
The party of Ike, Lincoln and The Gipper finally has its balls back.
Go Trump !
Way to go, President Trump. Prayers offered up for the success of your administration.
When I first heard this, I was wishing Trump would keep quiet about it. By making this comment I thought was premature in the negotiation process. My thought was that this is the nomination I would like the Dems to filibuster so we can open the door for the ones to follow that will be harder to win than the Scalia replacement.
But the more I think about it, I think this “in your face” comment is the right move by Trump. It sounds like the Dems were already figuring out that this is not the one to filibuster. Because if they did and they got nuked, then the door would be wide open for the next 2 appointments. They would lose the court for a generation.
So, Trump thinks the Dems are likely not to filibuster this time, so he throws out this taunt. Now, the Dems have two options. Walk away from the filibuster, and it looks like they folded under the Trump blitz. Or, filibuster and blow the door open on the next ones that would have been easier to defeat. It’s the irresistible double dog dare. A coward if you walk away. And dead meat if you take it.
Oh no! Trump is calling for nuclear war! This is the end of the world as we know it! Stock up on iodine tablets and head for the caverns!!!/sarcasm;)
It’s just a matter of time before a bunch of ignorant people jump on this statement because they do not know what it means and think that our president has just authorized the use of nuclear weapons!! 10-9-8-7....
