“So, I expect the Democrats to filibuster, or otherwise try to derail, Trump’s Supreme Court appointment. The Democrats are angry that the Senate never took up the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, so part of their strategy on handling Trump’s Supreme Court nomination, will be payback.”
In the end though, Trump’s nominees will be approved. If they are not, then the “Nuclear Option” needs to be extended to the SCOTUS nominees. Payback is a Bitch!
Losers! They’re trying the same thing now with the electoral college. About as much foresight as a young child.
Harry Reid, the gift that keeps giving. The thing we need to be concerned with is the Repelican RHINOs giving it back.
Democrats have reaped what they have sowed.
Hoist on their own Petard.
NOW MAKE THEM SQUEEL LIKE A PIG! Oh wait, THEY might like it!
“You watch, Mitch McConnell will go back to the old rules and give the Democrats back the filibuster.”
There’s too many of us in the Senate now, and he’s seen what we do to turncoats come the next primary. I think he doesn’t have the stones to do that.
Cause they ASSumed that they’d always be in control.
Comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?
You mean Turtle hasn’t caved yet?
Yeah but if it’s Cruz, they’ll probably line up to get him out of the Senate.
Like my future mother in law said the day I married her son:
“He’s YOUR problem, now.” :)
*she was right; we’re no longer married. lol*
President trump will have more trouble with the likes of McCain and Graham in the GOPe,than with the Democrats.
And Trump better inform the “usual RINOs” that any attempt to put the old filibuster rules back, or otherwise interfere with approval of his appointments, WILL result in Trump personally finding a primary opponent for that RINO senator and Trump financing large rallies campaigning for him.
“Gone Fission”
Sounds like Fritz Hollings!
Yeah, Thank you Dirty Harry!
“Senate Democrats are not going to be able to block Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions bid to become attorney general. And they can’t do much to stop Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo from assuming the helm of the CIA.”
“And they have only themselves to thank for it.”
“That’s because exactly three years ago, the Democratic Senate majority — led by Harry Reid (Nev.) — rammed through controversial rules fundamentally changing the way the Senate does business. They unleashed in November 2013 what’s called the “nuclear option” allowing senators to approve by a simple majority all presidential appointments to the executive branch and the judiciary, with a big exception for Supreme Court justices.”
Dirty Harry like the Clintoons due to the last election, lost his big money backers and mob protection. He is walking on thin ice as he becomes a real embarrassment for his Nevada thugs.
We might just go back and stop the Filibuster cr** in regard to ANY appointments. It was ALWAYS used in legislative matters ONLY.
There are more like McConnell than there are like Sessions and Sessions is leaving.
Murkowsky, Heller, Hoeven, Alexander, Corker, Hatch, Rubio, McCain, Flake and Graham all voted for Gang of Eight and there are plenty who did not that wanted to.
The RINO’s outnumber conservative 4-1.
LOL!
Can’t eat your cake and have it too, dems.
Time to collect quotes from dems about how the president deserves to have his nominees approved. Not that hypocrisy b others them of course.
Probably will if he hasn’t already.
Reid, you magnificent bastard.
Just desserts
