Elections have consequences, he told then number two Republican Rep. Eric Cantor. And at the end of the day, I won. So I think on that one I trump you. - B. Hussein O. - 2009
"I really do believe that I have set the Senate so when I leave, were going to be able to get judges done with a majority," he said. "Its clear to me that if the Republicans try to filibuster another circuit court judge, but especially a Supreme Court justice, Ive told 'em how and Ive done it, not just talking about it. I did it in changing the rules of the Senate. Itll have to be done again." Harry Reid - Oct. 2016
I’ve been as critical as anyone of Myrtle, but I gave him credit for holding the seat open, and now I applaud for nuking the filibuster. And maybe making medical history too. Are there any other known cases of someone growing a new spine?

I watched this unfold this morning on CSPAN, I’m still trying to pick myself up off the floor...The Turtle did it...can you believe this???
Congratulations to the turtle for his 2 big wins! After Scalia died I thought no way he would prevent barky from installing a replacement. And on going nuclear I thought no way he would keep McCain/Collins/Murkowski from screwing us over. So let’s give credit where credit’s due.
Now, will Paul Ryan EVER score a win???
Good, the dims started this BS of filibustering judicial candidates, let them choke on it. I hope the court is 9-0 conservative before Trump leaves office in 8 years
Now start shoving stuff up the objecting Democrats collective @sses with major bills and federal judge appointments on a weekly basis. Let them feel like all they can vote is no or present. Do that for 6 months then ask if they would like to play nice and start cooperating and having some bipartisan bills pass.
