Tony, poke Ruth with a stick and see if she is still alive...
Let the RBG deathwatch commence. We won’t even need a debate when she croaks. Epic fail by the dems and I love it.
McConnell is finally doing something useful.
Now do the same for the next Trump nominee.
My mind pictures President Trump having one foot squarely on the Turtles saggy sack and whispering “Mitch, DON’T make me use both feet” as sweat pours off the Post Turtle.
A beautiful thought actually.
Tony, poke Ruth with a stick and see if she is still alive...
The RATs are going to be sore for a while after having a nuke shoved
up where the Sun don’t shine.
Good! ‘Bout time he got a backbone!
Get ‘er done!
The US Senate is no longer the voice of the sovereign states. Republicans control 31 state legislatures but have to tolerate punks like Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid.
We need to repeal the 17th Amendment and re-double the 10th Amendment.
About darn time the Republicans grow a pair!! Suck it Dems..you did it first, so karma is a b*tch
Now Republicans have no excuse for not appointing someone like Scalia the next time that there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Senate Republicans deploy demoncrat-designed ‘nuclear option’ after Gorsuch filibuster...
The filibuster has produced the opposite of what it claims is its purpose. The stated purpose is to allow debate, thought, and the crafting of legislation much better for having gone through that process.
In reality, it is the exact opposite. It is a way to shut off discussion, statesmanship, compromise, and cooperation.
It’s simply a weapon to obstruct. There might have been a day when that was not so, but I don’t recall a time when it was other than a weapon of obstruction.
It must be placed in the back file someplace for a different day, if it is ever resurrected. There are things that must be done, and it appears that the simple majority rule will more likely lead to the eventual negotiation between our warring branches of the congress.
I guess if democrats revere the filibustering of Supreme court justices so, they can reconstitute the rule if they ever take power back
I wonder who loaned him the testicles and when he has to give them back.
I have to honestly say I don’t understand the Gorsuch nomination.
Why didn’t they first have 24-hour 7-day a week sessions to let the filibuster proceed until the members talk themselves to exhaustion?
55-45
I count 52 GOP plus Manchin WV plus Heidi from Dakotas and COL democrat and Donnelly of Indiana for 56
minus McConnell as NO to allow him to bring up the matter later? = 55 ??
