As a conservative citizen it scares me to destroy a rule designed to slow things down in the Senate, but I can’t think of any judicial candidate who the Democrats would approve now, short of Ginsberg or that la raza lady. That leaves us with a series of bad choices.
1. Destroy the rule so SC nominees only need 50.
2. Keep the rule, allow Dems to win this round, then find a more liberal candidate to please them.
3. Keep the rule but keep throwing out more and more conservative nominees, knowing the Dems will continue to block. Make it a campaign theme. Then use it in 2018 elections to try to bring in some more GOP senators so the filibuster can be broken. I highly doubt the GOP could ride the rails of this journey and actually win the needed seats.
I’m to the point where I’m ready for fifth gear. The Dems have won every battle they’ve ever fought, from Social Security up through Obamacare. They’ve used lawfare and control of the judiciary to ruin everything good and decent about this country. Its to the point the President can’t execute directives explicitly given to him by the Constitution (immigration enforcement). Let’s just start nuking and try to repair some of the fundamental damage done to our country while we can. Otherwise, the long slow sweep of history will eventually bend to the will of the radical left.
