Schumer Prepared to Hold Supreme Court Seat Open

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer is preparing to block President-elect Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee if he or she is not in the “mainstream.”

“It’s hard for me to imagine a nominee that Donald Trump would choose that would get Republican support that we could support,” the New York Democrat told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night.

Asked if he would do his best to hold the seat open, Schumer responded, “Absolutely.”

I believe the rules are not permanent

And that the dems left the nuclear option in place because they are blind to the fact that they cannot keep stealing elections.

So they think they are always going to win the WH and the Congress.

I think the Senate can make any rules they want, they just have to be passed by 51 members.

Dems have always been bold in making rules that they don't have to go by, but the eGOP is usually so weak they go along believing that the dems will be fail.

That's a big LOL, they NEVER are fair!

I always am gobsmacked when the dems are in power and nominate an anti-American/Constitution and almost ALL of the GOP vote for them.

Trying to be not partisan, and going along with the majority party.

The dems NEVER do that, and the GOP always ends up with Lucy pulling the football away EVERY time.

Promises by leftists are not worth the www they are posted on.

Finally we have a President in Trump that will not swerve to the dems agenda.

And will bring the left leaning gop’ers in line.

McCain and Graham, Snow and a couple of others, will be tricky to rein them in with their foolish leftist agendas.

The dems are NOT like that.

Here's an important point:

In 2 years the dems have a lot more (30 vs 10 or so) Senate races then the gops do.

In order to keep their jobs, I think a significant number of them will vote correctly in order to be reelected.

Hopefully republicans will win those seats, but a lot can happen in 2 years. Jan 21 will be quite interesting...
