Reid already changed the rules. All appointments except Supreme Court only need 51 votes.

And? It was always a given it’d go nuclear.

If the Turtle has to go Nuke on Chuckie the RATS better hold on to their ass!

4 full years of unfettered 50+1 majority rule without limits on everything!

Can you spell ‘pack the courts’?

I think your exactly right and while they are filibustering all hell can break loose and it just goes on until the left has shot their wad then there’s vote!

Schumer tipped his hand when he already reneged on a deal, saying that he was only speaking for himself and couldn’t speak for his party despite being the minority leader.

McConnell would prefer to approve a liberal than use the nuclear option.

If Trump is in office for eight years, which is likely, once he is finished there won’t be any more Supreme Court appointments for a generation.

Not too soon about how serious the stomping will be, but their friendship will likely come to an abrupt end.
