Republicans should also shun Reid and Pelosi.

McConnell will cave. You can already see the machination evolving. The Republicans care more about what the beltway media, and government insiders say about them than the people the claim to represent. McConnell will now begin focus on failure plots, and excuses to keep low information Republicans on board. If Reid really can force a vote, I find it funny McConnell never seemed to be able to force votes.

>> Every senator has the right and power to call for debate

Calling for debate is not the same as forcing a vote.

-- Calling for debate is not the same as forcing a vote. --

Agreed, but the two notions are quite similar under senate procedure. Both "bring up for debate" and filing a cloture motion are, by agreeement, not by rules, deferred to the majority leader. The reason Lynch isn't being debated (so no reason to call for a vote) is that McConnell hasn't scheduled the subject. This "scheduling" activity is essentially what is deferred to the majority leader. Once a subject is up for debate, it inevitably moves to some sort of vote - either up or down, or a motion to table.

I think the GOP should take her up, and reject the nomination. Do it tomorrow.

Just shove that moron into the backside of his exercise equipment a few times and that should do it.

I guess Harry thinks he is still running the Senate. Maybe he is.

Now that Reid has admitted to using the well of the senate to lie about Romney not having paid taxes, where in the hell are the republicans to bring charges against Reid to censure this kind of thing. Then he is asked if it bothered him, he admitted that he lied, but.......Romney lost the election. Where are they?

The Republicans care more about what the beltway media, and government insiders say about them than the people the claim to represent . . . which is why the states should be returned to the senate.

Article V. Repeal the 17A.
