Have you forgotten that Mr. Turtle has blocked the nomination for SCOTUS since March?

No mean feat.

We owe him a lot.

“love to see Harry Reid choke on his own legislation.”

Even better, “love to see Harry Reid choke.”

Don’t worry. I’m sure the GOPe will manage to snap defeat from the jaws of victory by changing the rule back.

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

Hear, hear!

He wouldn't have had to if Scalia hadn't been died mysteriously under suspicious circumstances. I still don't trust him. He's backstabbed the American people on too many other things. Earmarks which are illegal or one.

But Scalia did, in fact, die.

Without someone to stand up and block Obama & Co we would have another Liberal justice.

How many decades would it take to overcome such a national disaster?

Many, many.

I have distrusted McConnell for years and years based on his earning my distrust in the only way he could, being a traitor to ordinary Republicans.

However, what he has done during the last 6 months is more than enough to wipe away all those traitorous actions and inaction’s.

I haven’t forgotten all the terrible things he’s done, but in my book, he’s forgiven all and has a fresh start.
