Republicans need to grow a pair and use the “Reid” option.

What are they afraid of? The the press won’t be nice to them? That they won’t get the ‘invites’ to cool democrat parties? That the fake letters they receive from Democrat War Rooms will turn MORE negative?

Come on guys, grow a pair and act like leaders - use the option Demcorats would use against YOU in a New York Minute.

What goes around comes around is one of life's undeniable truisms and never more than in the politics of Washington, D.C. (the "D.C." increasingly standing for dysfunctional city).

The only truism the MSM-Democrats believe in is "what's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable."

They reject tradition and wisdom, in fact and as concepts.

Filibuster is NOT in Constitution - simple majority vote for Senate IS.

Let-er rip.

Let the Dems suffer from their own decisions.......if they did suffer from their own decisions more often, they wouldn’t have many followers...

Senator Nelson Aldrich was the maternal grandfather of Ford’s Vice President.

"Power" is defined as the "ability to do or act" and having the "capability of doing or accomplishing something." As long as Republicans have the majority, they should consider using their power. They have the numbers so they have the ability. The question is, are they capable enough to confirm Gorsuch with little support from Democrats?

The Republicans in Congress don't have the gumption to act.

We really have nothing to lose. The judiciary now is riddled wth leftists, this is a window to try to correct that as much as we can. We’re not going to have the majority or the White House forever, and we can bet money that as soon as the rats have it again, they will enact whatever they need to enact to advance their agenda.

The key Reid quote is that Dems have ALREADY decided to drop filibusters for the supreme court

I really do believe that I have set the Senate so when I leave, we’re going to be able to get judges done with a majority. It takes only a simple majority anymore. And, it’s clear to me that if the Republicans try to filibuster another circuit court judge, but especially a Supreme Court justice, I’ve told 'em how and I’ve done it, not just talking about it. I did it in changing the rules of the Senate. It’ll have to be done again,
They mess with the Supreme Court, it'll be changed just like that in my opinion, So I’ve set that up. I feel very comfortable with that.

There is NO reason for the Rs to think about this. No reason to talk about the "nuclear option". Reid said the filibuster is dead, even for the Supreme Court. This is The Reid Rule and Ds will use it without thinking when they have a chance.

>>This is what Democrats fear most, because with a clear conservative majority on the Supreme Court and more conservatives on lower courts they could no longer expect judges, rather than legislators, to advance their agenda and they would have to be accountable to voters.<<

Says it all right there. This is what it’s all about.

Every leftist gain is through an ideologically driven, corrupt judiciary. And every time the people are finally consulted, that is if we are consulted, we vigorously vote against.

The media is telling us the Republicans will use the “nuclear option “ and deliberately and intentionally refuses to say that the dems used it first.
This is with full knowledge and awareness.
