Because all Democrat politicians absolutely hate the Constitution.

McConnell is too gutless to go nuclear.
At the very least if the Democrats threaten a filibuster, make them do it.
A real filibuster, don’t cave to the threat of a filibuster.
When they get tired of reading the phone book or Doctor Suess then you have a vote.

Yes he will, the SC judge is too important to be held up.

When it comes right down to it, the only Senators who can stop President Trump's USSC nominee is the GOPEs/RINOs ... and there will be hell to pay if they do.

" will Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell really pull the trigger?"

He said on the talk shows this weekend that Trump's nominee will get confirmed. On a side note, I love ole' Chucky Schumer when he talks about how he will support a mainstream candidate. He just forgot to translate what his definition of mainstream candidate is. To normal America, this means a judge who does not make laws from the bench, but instead follows the constitution along with the laws and statutes created by our Congress and signed into law. To Chucky it means a radical Alynskyite leftist who will bend the constitution into a pretzel to make up new dictum from the bench...

I wanted an update on Jeff Sessions.

According to Wikipedia, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Jeff Sessions for Attorney General tomorrow. It will then go on to the full Senate for a vote.

Will we need the “nuclear” (Reid) option? Will we do it if is needed?

We need Sessions now to give a response to liberal lawlessness on immigration.

A victory with Sessions continues our momentum. Any kind of stop on Sessions saps President Trump’s momentum, IMO. I’m not trying to be a crepe-hanger. I just want Sessions as AG, and soon.

The three mntioned judges have ALL been vetted and approved before. Trump knows what he was doing.

That's one reason why Cruz isn't even on the horizon.

And? It was always a given it’d go nuclear.

Schumer tipped his hand when he already reneged on a deal, saying that he was only speaking for himself and couldn’t speak for his party despite being the minority leader.

McConnell would prefer to approve a liberal than use the nuclear option.

If Trump is in office for eight years, which is likely, once he is finished there won’t be any more Supreme Court appointments for a generation.
