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.

He was so sure Hillary was going to win via dead votes and illegals that he set it up so democrats couls run the table.

Well I say keep it in place for the first 2 years.

And with a bunch of Democrats up for reelection in Red States in 2018, President Trump will have a working coalition.

OH Yeah this is so awesome.
I tried to tell these people in 2013 that the table could turn here but they weren’t listening then. They were all drunk with power.

So yesterday when I saw this article I posted it to my facebook saying:

“You think democrats are mad now... Wait till they realize!”

Then dropped the mic!

The current rules should be followed. It's only fitting.

It would be really stupid for the Repubs to change the rules back and thus prevent approval of Trump's appointment.

But, it is the stupid party.

“This means that a simple majority of 51 votes instead of 60 votes is necessary to confirm executive office appointments.”

I don’t believe this is correct. A simple majority to confirm an appointment but 60 votes to end any filibuster on the nomination.

“The Republicans are set to enter 2017 with at least 51 senators and can gain another seat with a likely win in the December senate run-off race in Louisiana”

And they will get Manchin’s vote, which is good because they will need to offset Grahamnesty’s and McCain’s hissy fits.
