When Hillary was up big in the polls, Schumer told an interviewer that the Dems would use the nuclear option if they needed to in order to get Hillary’s Supreme Court pick through.

So?
Let them filibuster - REALLY filibuster.
Make them stand up there and talk talk talk until they drop. That spectacle will soon turn off the public.
Remember, did Ted Cruz or Rand Paul get any support when they actually filibustered? No, they were ridiculed and slandered.
The problem with the filibuster now is that you only have to say the word and the Republicans cave. You never have to actually stand up there and filibuster.
Make them make fools of themselves and the filibuster threat will fade away real quick.
Liberals will be liberals. They can’t help it. Especially now that they are out of power. The only thing that will change their mind, is their phones being blown up over this.
Shall we start a calling Brigade? A group of volunteers who will call congressmen and senators about how they are obstructing the SCOTUS nomination?
I could see a software package where a person would record a short two or three minute comment (say 5 different recordings that are slightly varied in content. The using an autodialer list, can the office of those responsible for the filibuster then set their computer to call the list of numbers, when connected, play the recorded messages.
McConnell better grow a new pair if he gave his to Obama.
Don’t fold to the threat of a filibuster.
Make them do it.
A real filibuster.
Non-stop and when they get tired of reading from the phone book, vote.
Anyone who didnt know this was the plan all along, is too stupid to do anything more than passing out flyers.
Past time for McConnel/Ryan to call for a 1 hour recess of Congress and let the President make recess appointments of his cabinet and Supreme Court pick. They won’t do it of coursed, they won’t even evoke the nuke option or expand it to cover the SC pick. It may be a GOP controlled congress, but the DNC still seems to have their spherical manhoods in a firm grasp. The swamp is still overflowing with sludge.
Trump may need more gatherings to show he still has support. They are creating the impression that everybody is against him and there may have to be huge visible proof that this is a lie.
Expect the uni-party members with an “R” by their party affiliation, to roll over and play dead.
“”This is a stolen seat. This is the first time a Senate majority has stolen a seat,””
What seat was stolen? What the Sam Hill is he talking about? Must they all sound like riddles?
