He should also pre-emptively nominate Ruth Buzzie Ginsbergs replacement, as she is essentially at death’s door.

Dingy Harry is about to learn the hard way a lesson republicans have also learned the hard way.

Any power you grant yourself while in charge will be used against you when you are not.

I can easily think of at lease half a dozen Republicans who will vote against removing the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees.

We have to suffer under the tyranny of Ginsburg and the grotesquely unqualified social justice warrior Sotomayor.

Another Scalia would be nice.

Yes, this THIS is the article to read, and I have never in my life wanted so much to reply to old comment threads. You simply must read some of them. We shall honor Harry Reid, despite his unhinged mind, with the Reid precedent. Certainly for cabinet confirmations, and likely for the supreme court. http://forums.talkingpointsmemo.com/t/discussion-harry-reids-parting-shot-dems-will-nuke-the-filibuster-for-scotus/45690

Barely a month ago they were talking about how they would gleefully go ‘nuclear’ when they take back the senate.

I agree with Adler’s position. But I do so with some trepidation. Because one day, long may it be delayed, we will be again confronted with a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress. And in those circumstances the ONLY thing that has prevented absolute catastrophe in the past has been the filibuster.

So yes, I say do away with it. But brace yourselves for that terrible day when the levers of power once again fall into the hands of the militant left.
