“I don’t get it. If these nominees have been blocked for months, why can’t they be blocked for three more days? What changed?”

They’ve only been “blocked” because Reid likes to do everything by unanimous consent, and he doesn’t want to go through all the cloture motions, which take 30 hours each, etc.

Reid was going to move on all these anyway, because he had the power. Simple as that. What we’re seeing is Reid helping out McConnell blame Ted Cruz and the Tea Party for getting progressive nominees confirmed, when they were going to be confirmed anyway.

Cruz and Lee should filibuster!

Can they do that?

McConnell is going to replace Reid early in January.

He's a lot like Reid, SOP will continue unless the conservative Senators become giant SQUEEKY WHEELS!
