The most important message to Mr. and Mrs. Squishy Middle is that the "tradition" of filibuster with regard to judicial nominees is not a tradition at all. It is an aberration that has existed for a relatively short period of time. The MSM and the Democrats are trying to paint this "nuclear" option as yet another example(?) of the evil Republicans stomping on the Constitution, when it is exactly the opposite. It is a return to the Constitution after a rules hijacking by the progressive types.

Mitch McConnell was on the floor of the Senate today putting that information into the record. He even gave the exact date WHEN THE DEMOCRATS CHANGED THE RULE .. so the dems have no excuse. They are lying and they know it .. but they are counting on the sheeple now knowing the truth. All the repubs have to do is replay the video of McConnell's statement - over and over and over.
