And the Republicans were so afraid of using the nuclear option.
Yep I remember about the nuclear option on judges.
Well, a backlog of Bush’s nominees were confirmed to the federal bench after the showdown on the nuclear option. And filibusters of Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court were avoided. We see that with Dems. in total control, they don’t want to face any Republican filibusters on anything.
That's why they are referred to as 'The Stupid Party'...
Show of hands of everyone who KNEW this day would come. Republicans were angst ridden over the nuclear option while we were screaming that the Democrats would bend the Senate in a pretzel in a heartbeat if it so inclined them.
Gang of 14, what do you have to say about this?
