Time to extend the filibuster ban and give the Dems a dose of their own medicine.

Yep!

Message to Harry Reid:

“We’ll see your nuclear option and raise you one!”

Chew on that for awhile Harry....you’ll have nothing else to do.

(I don’t care that he’s gone. He’s so vile, its important to direct the message at him)

The Republicans hold the trump card:

Trump has published a list (two, actually) of people he would consider for nomination to SCOTUS. This has two implications:

1. nominating someone on that list is a campaign promise, the breaking of which would be an unforced error, and

2. every name on that list constituted a target opportunity for the Democrats. If there truly was anything wrong with any one name on that list, they could have screamed to the public, “If you elect Trump, Judge so-and-so will be put on the Supreme Court.” They didn’t do it. They didn’t say, “Boo!” about any of those names.

The conclusion is that Trump names someone on that list, and the Democrats lose ^{have already lost} the argument over his/her confirmation.

McConnell will not do that. I don’t know why.

51 votes is all you need to kill the filibuster rule.
DO. IT. ASAP.

PUT PENCE INCHARGE OF THE SENATE IF NEED BE.
