GOP will cave... bet on it. The next SC Justice to get confirmed will probably be Michelle Obama.

I must say I'm surprised the dem0crats are making such a huge tactical error. There will be several more vacancies Trump will fill and now they can be whoever he thinks will get 51.
Lot to give up for a couple of days of what they still think is good press for a lifetime appointment.
It all pointing to Schumer not being that bright.

Scbumer is up there now lamenting the rules change. He was singing a different tune when Reid was doing it.

Any reports on whether or not we’ve got the 51 votes to change the rules back to the Constitutional option?
To: Dave346
1) Cloture Vote.
2) McCain gives impassioned speech about Gorsuch’s qualifications.
3) Despite those qualifications McCain announces that he just can’t vote for a change in the Senate rules cause tradition or something.
4) The usual suspects join McCain
5) Gorsuch’s nomination dies
6) McCain is already booking his Sunday Talk Show appearances and having his staff gather the favorable news clippings to make into a collage.
7) It is time to look for the next opportunity to stab a back.

I wonder if the Birchers(Democrats) will walk out on this one.

Repeal the 17th Amendment!
The framers had it right. Republicans control 32 state legislatures whose voice needs to be heard on SCOTUS.
