Sen. Jeff Merkely says a decision to use the 'Nuclear Option' to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court would "destroy the integrity of the Senate" and "highly politicize the [Supreme] court."
"If this process goes through, every 5-4 decision will be one we will look at and say that it is not really legitimate, because that Supreme Court Justice wasn't really legitimate," he said.
"If we change it to a simple majority, that means the next president will have an easier time approving appointments, and might decide to go further to the left or right outside of the mainstream. Obama went right down the middle, and unfortunately, President Trump has not."

Amen.
“Evey Republican decision about anything will be one we will look at and say that it is not really legitimate, because the __________ (fill in the blank) isnt legitimate,

Democrats know something about illegitimacy....many of their offspring are.
Harry Reid set the precedent already.
Jeffy assured me that Obamcare was Constitutional under the
“promote the general welfare” clause, as if that were an enumerated power.
Good Lord, the sheer brazenness of this liar's lie.
There is absolutely nothing about Kagan or Sotomayor that's "down the middle;" the latter is the most liberal justice on the Supreme Court, according to The New York Times.
Merkley is a total jerkwad...It’s sad because there’s many good people in Oregon despite the the amount of bats*** crazy libs.
I don’t know about Sotomayor, but I have heard Kagan goes straight down the middle.
I’m so sick of these people.Without the rule of law we don’t really have a country.What we have is a neverending low grade riot.
and he said the exact same thing when dirty harry said they were going to do this.
ohno he didnt
Obama hit the libtard target both times. He even got a no judicial experience hack on board.
Shut up Jeff, you crybaby moron. You’re going to get nuked, quit whining, get used to it, and take it like a man. Elections have consequences.
FU Merkley. Anytime those two ditzy bimbos Sotomayor and Kagen make a decision it is illegitimate. Those two should be sitting on their asses at home eating bon bons, watching the view and taking turns taking Ginsberg’s pulse. They’re all brain dead.
Hey talk to Harry Reid. He broke the system not the republicans.
I guess the Senator is too young to remember Justice Earl Warren.
Gorsuch is going to be confirmed.
Trump will probably be seeing Anthony Kennedy retire soon
Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 84 and in very poor health and will probably be replaced under Trump.
Justice Bryer will be 82 at the end of Trumps first term.
Trump may end up replacing 4 supreme court Justices - maybe more f some of the younger Justices decide to retire.
Remember all those riots and protests when 0bama was elected? Twice? Me neither. These snowflakes are going around saying that Trump is not their president since they wanted the Hilldebeeste and are all boo-hooing over it.
The Democrapts are finally showing their desire to actually destroy this nation without any concealment. Every call for resistance is a blatant statement that they want control to establish a dictatorship.
How many seconds would it take for Dems to take nuclear option ?
Yep, the libtards are VERY consistant. No diversity of opinion.
