But less than a decade ago, Schumer advocated doing the same exact thing if any additional Supreme Court vacancies opened under former President George W. Bush.

I believe that given sufficient time Schmucky Schumer may prove to be even dirtier and less principled than Dirty Harry Reid.

And that would be quite a feat!

Saw on Tucker last night 7 Democratic Senators have already said they would vote for him.

The need to que up the Harry Reid tape saying if the democrats win the Senate the filibuster rule was gone for Supreme Court nominees

The Dems always seem to have the guts to go after their enemies. If the GOP had the same guts, some IRS officials would be in prison for contempt.

Anne Gorsuch, who died in 2004, was a little-known Colorado state legislator when she was tapped by Reagan in 1981 to head the EPA. Together with her fellow Westerner, James Watt — Reagan’s pick for secretary of the interior — she personified the “Sagebrush Rebellion” of the 1970s and 1980s, an attempt by ranchers, farmers, miners and oil interests to overturn federal land-use and environmental regulations.

Also, it should be noted, the left wing chattering class and other media fail to note that it was Obummer who violated the sois-disant Biden rule.

Conservatives should start parroting this mantra.

I swear I saw someone who I thought was David Muir talking to Lester Holt about Gorsuch’s nomination and how he was impressed with his speech. It doesn’t make sense that it was Muir, does it? Anyway, whoever this individual was, he said that he thought Gorsuch would impress in one on one interviews, and that Dems would be hard pressed to filibuster him. Was I dreaming? Holt thanked him and then moved on to Pete somebody. I’ll admit readily, I do not watch the news. I just stumbled on to this because I was watching Jeopardy and it turned into the nomination announcement.
