If he, Mitch, can pull this off and keep this crazy b!+c# off the court I’ll change my opinion of him and I’ll say that Mitch isn’t a TOTAL @$$#013.

I don’t think Schumer would agree to this.

Probably wishful thinking. Harry Reid started it for District Court of Appeals nominees and Mitch extended it to SCOTUS. I don’t think McConnell is going to use a procedural rule to block a SCOTUS nominee by filibuster. On the other hand, McConnell has played hardball on previous Dem candidates, and blocked Merrick Garland, so you never know when “Cocaine Mitch” will show up.

True. Don’t look for an argument from me. Meanwhile, the show must go on show must go on for the folks watching.

I think it was Jay Leno who said; “The only difference between Hollywood and Washington is that the people in Hollywood are better looking.”

Except all previous existing rules regarding cloture remain in effect, including that only a majority need to advance judges and executive branch nominees.

This isn't correct. Go to the source and note the lack of any links to the rules that supposedly compel this result.

And in any case, the bottom line is that 50 Senators plus the VP are enough to do anything except override a veto or convict on impeachmentm

Grassley,
Hawley,
Sasse,
Cotton,
Kennedy,
Tillis,
Blackburn,
Cruz,
Lee,
Cornyn,
Graham

....could happen.....not many squishes. Tillis is leaving and has no skin in the game, so he’s my main worry.

Schumer already agreed to it.

“no ties” in this case, except in the judiciary committee, if the 11 tie holds and buries the nomination.

An appeal override to senate then would require 60.

Am I to believe a tweet that isn’t nasty, mean and from some guy I never heard? I will wait and see. There’s nothing for me to do that would make any difference anyway. I already called my two Senators. I’m sure Bob Casey ignored my message and I get the feeling, believe or not, that Arlen Toomey wants to retire with a slightly different reputation that he has earned.

What did McConnell give away to balance committees ? In this case he won, since the tie-breaker VP was a D.

If this is correct, I think Brown gets 10 R votes for cloture. Then they vote No on nomination. That way, depending on audience, they can say they voted for Brown or against Brown.

Brown still gets to the Supremes that way.

It’s false. Graham is already a “yes”. Romney is a “yes”.

The “judge” has 15-30 GOP votes locked up. This isn’t even worth following.

I forgot. 50/50 tie gets broken by harris.

With Romney and Graham already announced as "yes", why are you talking about a 50/50 tie?

This judge has 60 EASY votes already.
