The dirty ‘Rat Shumer won’t need anyone to step down. My hunch is Ruth Buzzie Ginsburg won’t last that much longer. That is when you will REALLY see the leftist heads explode. We will need the nuclear option at that point. If the Repubs actually have the guts to use it before the election it should demoralize the ‘rats even more. WINNING!
If Schumer keeps the filibuster, then the only way for Gorsuch to be seated is for McConnell to go nuclear now or make a deal over the next seat.
That presumes that 1) McConnell trades it away now by promising to not use it next time, and 2) McConnell breaks his promise to Schumer and does go nuclear next time.
What would Republicans do if McConnell doesn't go nuclear now, makes a deal with Schumer before Friday, and then vows to keep his word when the next seat opens up?
