Oops, missed a [Knowingly].
Schiff, Schiff, schiff your pants, here comes Trump’s swat team.

Life is but a scheme.
A very good Brian Cates thread, from today. McConnell changed the rules! WINNING!

IT.
IS.
FINISHED.
Dem’s can’t spent MONTHS blocking votes on judicial nominees/appointments.
“Non-cabinet Executive nominations” is not just judges, that means ALL of Trump’s appointees outside of main Cabinet positions.
Senate Cloakroom
58m
Overruled, 48-51: Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the Senate. McConnell’s Point of Order that post-cloture time for non-cabinet Executive Nominations is now 2 hours has been sustained.
Hundreds of appointments that Democrats have managed to stall will be voted on immediately.
Look at this whiner. Dems spent YEARS packing these courts with activist judges.
They were *desperately* trying to slow Trump’s nominations of judges & other appointments to a small trickle until he could be impeached/forced to resign/voted out in 2020.
Senator Jeff Merkley
McConnell just forced a historic vote. He wants to pack the courts to turn our Constitution on its head & lock in government by and for the powerful & privileged, destroying government by and for the people. Very dark day for our Constitution and for the people of America.
Democrats strategy to thwart the voters has been LAWFARE for decades.
They can’t get what they want at the ballot box?
No problem! Just have an bunch of activist judges make rulings that HAND them what they want & overrule the Congress/President/voters!
Merkeley in PROJECTING like a motherf**ker in that tweet.
It’s DEMOCRATS who packed these courts to hand rulings to them & their friends in high places.
Trump is appointing CONSTITUTIONAL judges who won’t play politics or rule favors for one particular political party.
Democrats *always rewrite the rules of the game when it suits them*.
That’s what their court-packing schemes with judicial activists has always been about.
Just have the JUDGES keep RE-WRITING THE LAW until the “right side” gets what it wants.
You know how you counter that Democratic strategy?
You replace politically ACTIVIST judges who rewrite law when it suits them with STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS who will stick to the law as written.
Which EXACTLY what Trump has been doing, much to the Democrat’s HORROR.
This is why Democrats have been using any means at their disposal to delay Trump’s nominations to the courts.
They were using a Senate rule to delay cloture votes indefinitely.
Well Mitch McConnell just changed that rule.
Instead of delaying the final vote for months at a time now they get TWO HOURS and then the final vote has to happen.
You can thank Harry Reid for this.

It’s clear that you unknowingly missed an unknowingly and it was thoughtful of you to correct your unknowing mistake, once it became known.
