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

Another great article fresh off the press from The (steaming dung) Hill.
So, not much of a change, since everything has already slowed to a crawl. How many offices are waiting to be filled?
Correction — Harry Reid Nuclear option.
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!!
Donald Trump's still President; Gorsuch is getting confirmed. Democrats don't have much else other than clinging to polls, which didn't exactly work out well for them in November 2016. This is how you know Trump is winning.
The Hill is made of compos from a manure pile.
Nuke the Schmuck and Fienswine and Turdbin and Leakey ...
Exactly! Filibusters were once a rare thing. Demanding 60 votes on everything is the true violation of Senate traditions. Getting rid of the filibuster only returns the Senate to regular order. Go for it!
Left to me, I’d nuke the entire demonic-rat party and I’d start in the US Senate with its evil, nasty, schemer Minority Leader.
{Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told reporters that whoever thinks the Senate will be a “better place” after the nuclear option “is a stupid idiot.”}
The Senate won’t be a better lace, Senator. It will be much much worse, and you’ll be miserable. Maybe it’s time to quit your “lifetime appointment” to the Senate and resign.
The very same people who voted for the “nuclear option” are now saying Republicans should not do the same thing because of the destructive consequences it would cause to the Senate and that Republicans would be reckless to do such a thing. They’re clearly lying and they even announced they would be doing the same thing to get Hillary’s nominees confirmed just prior to the election, because they fully expected Hillary to win and they would also win back control of the Senate. Yet this article is written as though their words have credibility. They have none and should be ignored. What exactly is the difference between voting for confirmation on cabinet nominees and lower court judicial nominees? None - it is the same process - and the Democrats already blew up the rule. It’s over. Let’s not pretend otherwise and just do it and get this man confirmed to the Supreme Court - the Democrats would be doing the same thing if this were in reverse and they even said they would be doing so when they thought they were going to win.
Trump doesn’t care if they do go nuclear to get Gorsuch confirmed. It is a trivial concern much less than going nuclear.
He’s right. Just another press event reported to increase viewership.
