I’m looking for a “cleansing rain” — I’m willing to put up with a stupid “cloud”.

"They used the age-old Senate tactic of slowing things to a crawl"

I bet all the dhimmi senators running for re-election just love that idea.

What a field day Trump will have on the campaign trail!

Nuclear option = following the constitution

Blowing up the rules = enforce the law

Sure wasn’t that way for the commies when Harry did it. They switched from caterwauling like this to barely reporting on it. They think it’s great when the liberals use heavy handed tactics, and they count on people forgetting. The communists are so damn predictable in their contemptuousness.

Go nuclear on approving Gorsuch, then go nuclear on repealing Obamacare. I’d like to go full nuke and eliminate every part of FedGov that is unconstitutional.

Now look boys, I ain’t much of a hand at makin’ speeches. But I got a pretty fair idea that something doggoned important’s going on back there. And I got a fair idea of the kind of personal emotions that some of you fella’s may be thinking. […] But I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a countin’ on ya, and by golly we ain’t about to let ‘em down.

So, not much of a change, since everything has already slowed to a crawl. How many offices are waiting to be filled?

As if the Democrats aren’t slowing things down as things are? BTW, if one senate rule can be changed why not others?

Classic desperation. Going down for the third time stuff here.

“If you mean Republican approve Gorsuch in spite of our unprecedented and ridiculous filibuster, we won’t work with you anymore. Bleh!”

Too funny!!
