SENATE REPUBLICANS NUKE THE SCOTUS FILIBUSTER

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is about to become a reality

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered on a key Trump campaign promise yesterday, brushing away an arcane procedural hurdle and in the process clearing the way for the swift Senate confirmation of originalist Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.

It is also the first in what promises to be a long series of crushing major defeats for Democrats in the current Congress who are desperate to placate their increasingly rabid far left-wing base.

Trump can go full right Constitution reading conservative judge when biddie ginsberg doesn’t wake up from one of her numerous naps. Why try mainstream, no need. Dems do not know when to pick a fight

Just expanding the Harry Reid rule on filibusters.

You set the rules, now play by them.

And don’t whine. Whining is so unattractive.

Well this will be useful, the next time a SCOTUS seat becomes available.

That said, now it is even MORE important for Trump to do the things Americans elected him to do.

Bring back manufacturing jobs, right here to America. Someone has to, both parties have been COMPLETELY sold out to China for the entire last generation. Trump won I believe, because he (alone) was saying that needs to be reversed. Americans believed that. That is VERY important.

And Trump...

BUILD THE WALL.

Ginsburg could stick around another eight years easily, but few expect her to do so.

Ginsburg is not leaving until they carry her out feet first.

She may even already be dead, and the other left wing liberals in the Court are playing "Weekend at Bernie's" with her corpse.
