Revolt is coming.
Harry will CHOKE on this when he loses power in about 1 year.
Toss out all the demorat bastids.
Republicans going against the Founders is devastating.
So when is the vote to end the two-term limits for Democratic Presidents?
They will rue the day!
The specific rules change is irrelevant. If the majority can break the rules to change the rules, there are no rules.
So, educate me quickly. Is this the “nuclear option” we’ve heard so much about?
And if so, does anyone think they’d do this without knowing they had Majority-For-Life status?
Harry is being obedient to his marching orders from the White House. Obama wants those sycophant judges in place now. I’ll bet every one of them was hand selected by Jarrett and placed in such a way as to block further challenges to Obamacare and state abortion laws.
We are now a banana republic. Forward comrades!!
I’d feel pretty good if people wanted to hire me for a job so much they blew up decades-old rules to do it.
So you were opposed to filibuster reform when the Republicans were running things and the Dems were blocking things?
I’ll give the Dems props... they had the guts to do it. The Republicans never did.
As Joe would say... “This is a “big effin’ deal!”
If the Republican Senators had any guts, they would en mass walk out and boycott all Senate business. One R senator could be let behind to prevent unanimous consent.
As the United States descends further and further into socialist anarchy, the Republican party displays both its impotence and stupidity. Waiting until November 214 or 2016 is too late. The United States as we loved it will be a distant memory by then!
I marvel at the majority comments on this thread in reaction to the overt MarxoFascist coup taking place right in front of them.
Most have absolutely NO CLUE what time it is or what is actually happening.
Folks, it’s OVER. The quaint notions that somehow the GOP and Conservatives are going to ‘retake’ the Senate via elections is woefully ignorant of this ideology that has taken over.
There WILL NOT BE ANOTHER GOP/CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY in any national capacity within civil means PERIOD.
That means, elections are moot. Cook County went national.
The Normalcy Bias and deliberate willful ignorance of this enemy that has taken over the country is absolutely astounding to me.
It simply means, this people are given over to strong delusion - and this people are going to continue to lie to themselves while being subjugated, and want to hear the lies as the boot of subjugation is on all our necks.
Elections are DONE. OVER. What remains is an illusion of choice to placate you.
The rule of Law is DONE. We’ve seen this now for the last 5 years - the law can and will be changed arbitrarily to suit the needs of the MarxoFascist agenda.
If you people continue to hand onto a corrupted ideal that our electoral process and institutions are still a means to hold tyranny at bay - then I submit you are LOST to delusion.
Just remember this fact of history - once Marxists have achieved total power in key places - GENOCIDES happen of political enemies of the regime.
Bastards.
Hey, boner—hear that? THIS is what happens when you spoon with the enemy.
We can use this if we ever get back in power to take down some if the nanny state. Could never happen with the filibuster in place
It was a smart move if you believe that stacking the court with left wing liberals will have a long term effect that will change many of the constitutional protections that have stymied the Dems while they have the majority.
And it is a smart move if the Dems believe that they might lose the Senate in 2014. They need to get as many judicial nominees thru as possible now.
And it is a smart move if the Dems believe that they are on the verge of becoming the permanent majority party based on our rapidly changing demographics.
If the Reps don’t stand together in the Senate and House and declare their own version of the nuclear option, i.e., there will be no cooperation with the Dems until the Senate nuclear option is rescinded, then they deserve to be the wimps abused and derided. We need street fighters not these perfumed princes.
