I see my state’s U.S. Senators voting “Nay.” Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Check! Check! FU Seattle liberals.

The Republicans had better confirm this guy, or I’ll lose my enthusiasm for the Republican party.

SCOTUS has been 100% politicalized. It’s authority needs to be checked which can only come from legislation or constitutional amendment. It’s out of control.

If they only have 55 to proceed they won’t get 60 votes to shut off debate. Thus they need to change the Senate rules (nuke option) or forgetaboutit.

The Nuclear Option Decision has already been made, and not a peep from the media: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-poised-to-limit-filibusters-in-party-line-vote-that-would-alter-centuries-of-precedent/2013/11/21/d065cfe8-52b6-11e3-9fe0-fd2ca728e67c_story.html?utm_term=.3855c2b6cc56

I don’t understand what’s so sacrosanct about the super majority having to be 60% ; theoretically, why couldn’t it be another fraction, say 5/9 or 56 votes to stop cloture (the majority required in a Supreme Court decision BTW)… Or for that matter, any other number that the Senate powers that be want to make it, if you want to keep such a tradition?

Just go to what the Constitution proscribes and be done with it!
