POTUS just tweeted " Thanks Harry " As in Harry Reid here's why......

Posted on 09/19/2020 10:47:05 AM PDT by MNDude

Harry Reid will go down in history for having handed the court to conservatives when he took the first step toward eliminating the 60 vote requirement for confirmation. 😂

libs are so stupid, it’s easy to run rings around them if you have a backbone to stand up to their bully tactics.

And Trump’s the guy who will do it. I’m sure a Bush or God-forbid, Romney would look “across the isle”.

Harry Reid handed the USSC to conservatives w/ the scheme to eliminate the 60-vote requirement for confirmation....

Heck, Harry was reassured by the Halfrican to take the necessary steps.

<><> Obama put the fix in for a permanent Democrat majority....
<><> Obama compiled a huge secret data base on Americans
<><> Hillary was a "shoo-in"
<><> Biden was being prepped to take over
<><> Biden was grooming his son Hunter for high office.
<><> even ol' reliable Texas was turning blue.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Something conservatives need to keep in mind is that Judge Thomas is getting up there.. and will likely get replaced by the next president.

Settling for a moderate thinking.. well... we got someone more conservative than RBG so.. it’s ok.. is SHORT SIGHTED. Because if the libs then replace Thomas with a hack like HGB was then the net effect will be a move to the left.

We have to go ALL IN! with the MOST CONSERVATIVE and YOUNGEST judge possible.

There is a lot of truth in what you wrote above @ post 7.

The most unlikely thing in the world happened.... almost divine providence isn’t it?

Breyer is 82 years old. Thomas is a decade younger but has been rumored as a near-term retirement because he doesn’t want to die in office.

Romney wouldn’t just look across the aisle. He’d move across the aisle and set up a mission.

Wait for this........Obama has “said” he will become “more relevant” out of office than he was in office.

Obama dared not “govern” as president——he had long range plans including getting-rich-quick.

Governing entailed Obama “taking responsibility” when things go wrong. He could not take the risks back then.

So when we next lose, we should put the 60 vote rule back in place... As a nice parting gift. 🎁

‘’lefturd loons, being motivated by passion. immediate interests, and prejudice, are irrational’’.

Sounds a lot like teenage girls.

I thought Alito had also mentioned something in the last year.

Oh yeah Breyer is on deaths door, but like you said I could see Thomas just choose to retire, and he is the most conservative and losing him under a democrat would move the court considerably.

I cant see Thomas making it through 8 years of a liberals term (or more). Which is what you have to consider (and RBG didn’t thankfully)
