It’s almost like they were confident that they would be in charge of the government forever. Ouch...

Were Supreme Court justices EVER on the table to be filibustered? Has everyone been reading this wrong. Just a curiosity in my head.

Just as long as Sen. Turtle doesn’t crawl back in his shell and cave into the Dems and eliminate the nuclear option.

From: http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2016/10/is-the-supreme-court-filibuster-in-play-in-2017/

Three years ago next month, Senate Democrats used the “nuclear option” to kill the filibuster for many Senate motions, but they left the option intact for Supreme Court nominees.

The Dems used the "nuclear option", if they filibuster Trump's candidate the Republicans should as well. (If they have any b.lls)

Using the “Nuclear Option” should also be used to bring back the original Fillibuster (extended speech) and end minority dominance.

Cue the treadmill or whatever exercise machine visited Reid. Sounds like he needs another workout.
