Chuck Schumer threatens Trump over SCOTUS nominee - endless filibuster for any nominee?
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/04/17 | Robert Laurie

Dems digging the hole deeper

Democrats don’t understand what happened in the 2016 election. They don’t know why they lost and they have no concept of how badly they were beaten. I’ve made this point a hundred times. We see their denial in their post-election defiance, their doubling-down on people like Pelosi, and the bitter name-calling aimed at anyone who didn’t support Hillary Clinton. They cling to popular vote totals, buoyed by left-wing superstates New York and California, so they can whistle past their electoral graveyard and their brutal 2018 map.

What filibuster?

“The Nuclear Option” is a Democrat device. Republicans will use your own tools against you, Chuckie.

I guess Schumer is not going to be “reaching across the aisle”. How uncivil.

Doesn’t anybody have any confidence that McConnell will not permit Schumer to run the Senate? (j/k)

Yeah, right... the Schmuck know full well that all he has to do is show up once on the enemedia and complain about the “unfairness” of the nuclear option and the gutless, limp-wristed, turtle-faced puke will fold faster than a lie out of a Demonic politiician’s mouth.

Eight years?

When did the term of POTUS change?

Let’s see how Trump handles things once he gets sworn into office for his first term, shall we?

Sheesh.

It should read "buoyed by rampant urban voter fraud in left-wing superstates."

Filibuster. No big deal. He and his buddies can get up there and talk and talk and talk all they want. Everyone else can take a nap or post funny remarks about him on FB. He’s hurting only himself.

Odious, obnoxious, overly-loud Schumk Schumer has already forced me to move my remote to the arm of my couch so that I can immediately HIT MUTE whenever his U.G.L.Y. face appears on my widescreen.

A president Trump can use regulation and the power of federal aid to help or not help N.Y. and little chuckie.
Me thinks little chuckie will come around for the betterment of his people.
Keep it up chuckie and NO soup for you.

Make them REAL filibusters then- none of this walking in, asking if you’re continuing your filibuster, and walking out.

MAKE HIM STAND ON THE SENATE FLOOR UNTIL HE KEELS OVER if it means that much to him.

And repeal it as soon as he face-plants. Wake him up later and tell him it passed by one vote, if only he was there...

As I suggested on another thread, Trump should encourage McConnell to change Senate rules ASAP for USSC nominees via the nuclear option that Reid set for cabinet nominees.

The only thing I thank Reid for doing over all his years, is setting the precedence for doing away with the filibuster. Hey Reid, "what goes around, comes around". Karma is a b*tch, you socialist pr*ck.

If McConnell doesn’t use the nuclear option, there ought to be a mass uprising of Pres. Trump supporters against him and any other GOP obstructionists.

I hope and pray, daily, that you are right. My trust is in God, not man.

Make them do an actual filibuster. No 60 vote threshold. Our Republic was not founded on the principle of a 60 vote threshold to stop debate.

There is a simple solution to beating a filibuster—make those filibustering actually have to speak for hours on end. As soon as someone shows up late and the speaking Senator has to go to the bathroom, declare an end to the filibuster and then schedule the vote.
