This! I have been saying it all along. Make them get up and talk for as long as they can go. Then vote. The more they talk the more idiotic they sound.

So let me get this straight — the GOP is going to go nuclear to put a crypt-lefty squish like Gorsuch on the Court. Great. Just great.

Correct, she was really pushing it with her comments. So many people in positions of great authority and responsibility publicly shaming themselves before God...

>>Dems are being very dumb here. If they force Rs to go nuclear this time, when the next one opens up they have nothing stopping it which would definitely tilt the court significantly more right.<<

The Dems are pinned down by their own Leftist base. That’s the price they’re paying for tacking left so hard the last election. Now if they vote for Gorsuch, their own base will turn on them.

Hopefully the consequence will be that the Senate cans the filibuster rule altogether so we can finally start getting something done again.

he was warned by his own side that he was doing so. He didn’t care.

He knew he wouldn’t be around to suffer the consequences.

Nuclear? I would go Thermonuclear. I would go straight to the HYDORGEN Bomb.

WHEN the Democrats, heaven forbid, retake the Senate they will show no mercy.
