Bet they do not do it...THe GOP is dumber than dirt..
I’ve been hearing this crap for well over a year. Color me cynical.
The way the Democrats have been applying the rules is no longer in keeping with any "traditions" - it has been total and complete obstruction for the sake of doing so. Acting in good faith was gone long ago.
What took them so long? God, they are weak.
Should be past tense, not future tense! It’s probably what is called “a trial balloon.”
They’ll get it done. They just have to get 60 votes to do it.
They will fold just like the spineless dick heads they are. The GOP is a bunch of lying spineless imbeciles.
They should get rid of the filibuster too.
Yeah right. They blther and dither and do nothing. They’ve sold Trump and the country down the river with their inept ways.
Excellent. About time.
If a judge nominee needs a simple majority vote to be placed ‘on the bench’ there should NEVER be a procedural process to block or stall the appointment that requires more than a simple majority.
Likewise - a bill that only requires a simple majority vote to pass into law should NEVER be allowed to be held up by a procedure that requires a greater vote percentage than that required by the Constitution. We see cloture votes requiring a super majority blocking items that need only a simple majority to pass. That has virtually the same effect as requiring a super majority to pass anything. This, in effect, has changed the Constitution, but without actually going through the correct process to institute that change.
IOW - how on earth can a Constitutional vote be held up by a non-Constitutional vote / procedure? This should never have ever been allowed in the first d@mn place!
