I still cannot believe what John McCain has allowed himself to become.

The “song bird” is showing his true colors on a daily basis.

It goes back to the Miguel Estrada nomination in Bush's first term. Schumer first announced his ideological test because of this.

The "nuclear option" was devised to break the Democrats block of Estrada by using the parliamentarian to bypass cloture. It was called the nuclear option because it "blew up" regular order and tradition.

Does Schumer have McCain, Graham, and Collins in his pocket to delay for more dealing over the weekend?

I for one would never bet against this possibility of RINOs going off the reservation. They don't call it the stupid party for nothing!

McConnell just went nuclear, I think. McConnell raised it anyway.

What’s going on?

Dirtbag seems to be trying to stop The Turtle from going nuclear.

He’s trying to get a bunch of supposed grievances on the record prior to making his motion to table McConnell’s appeal.
