Strategery: Frightened Dems backing away from SCOTUS filibuster?
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/31/17 | Robert Laurie

New plan, new plan!

Uh-oh. It appears there’s trouble in “ugly Hollywood.” After promising that they would filibuster President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee - no matter who he or she was - it seems that cold feet have taken hold. Dems may now be looking for a respectable way to back away from Chuck Schumer’s obstructionist plans.

No one sitting on the bench is going to retire today

So much for integrity. Didn't Ginsburg say she'd leave the US if Trump won?

My theory above is most likely incorrect. I didn’t realize others on the list had similar websites.

How much energy and popular support do the democrats really have, if their only mission is to OBSTRUCT EVERYTHING?

Do they think they can keep this going - and try to make America ungovernable- because they lost??

“Seems pretty obvious - http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/31/politics/gorsuch-supreme-court-hardiman/index.html

They’re both coming after all”

Wouldn’t it be great to have Trump nominate someone else and prove CNN wrong again?

Lol definitely, I’m at least expecting some kind of surprise.

Trump is the only one doing the work. Congress is sitting, sucking their thumbs like toddlers.
