When is congress going into recess? I hope the president has everything ready to do the minute the gavel hits for recess to appoint every remaining appointee as a recess appointee. I also hope he has plans to end the judicial tyranny by those black robed America hating judges. Allowing them to exercise power that they do not have will only embolden them to take further action to destroy the country we love. He must demand that congress back him up with legislation, even though it may be difficult since our own republican speaker is a traitor to the party. The president should calk Ryan out publicly and humiliate him until he acts to support us. If I could speak to the president I would tell him not to give up on us, we are not giving up on him, and that this old retired veteran remains ready to do whatever he ask to get the job done to include laying down what is left of my life if necessary.

Conservatives are united behind Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court. But facing potential Democratic obstruction, they’re divided over the best way to get him there.

The question is what to do if Democrats decide to filibuster Gorsuch, a hard-line tactic that would normally require 60 votes to overcome.

The White House, Republican leadership in Congress and outside conservative groups have varying levels of enthusiasm for triggering the so-called “nuclear option” to change Senate rules and muscle Gorsuch through on a simple majority vote.

President Trump has signaled that he’s gung-ho about the maneuver.

“If we end up with that gridlock I would say, ‘If you can, Mitch, go nuclear,’” Trump said in early February. “Because that would be an absolute shame if a man of this quality was put up to that neglect. I would say it’s up to Mitch, but I would say, ‘Go for it.’”
