I see you've already forgotten about the gang of 14

Well, what about committee chairmen?

If Republicans have a majority, their chairmen determine what legislation comes to the floor. Isn't that more important than the views of any one senator?

No, I haven't forgotten about them.
But we got the judges in the end, didn't we?

But we got the judges in the end, didn't we?

Exactly correct. We got almost all of them without breaking a sweat - - Roberts, Alito, Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown, William Pryor....

Frankly, it astounds me that some people STILL haven't figured out what a masterpiece that "Gang of 14" con job was. The rats never knew what hit them. The Republican Senators who helped the sting work, especially Graham and DeWine, deserve the heartfelt thanks of every conservative.
