BREAKING: Senate votes 52-48 to repeal rule allowing filibusters against Supreme Court nominees, clearing the way for Gorsuch confirmation

Agreed. Which is why I support this move. Let’s hope we don’t lose the presidency and senate for a while!
It restores normal "majority rule" function for all judicial nominees. Deviation from that common practice and allowing minority veto of judges was implemented by the DEMs in 2001, and acquiesced by the leftist GOP players (see "gang of 14").
This was inevitable. .either a democrap or a Republican...
And I think it would be hilarious if President Trump nominated Garland (or whatever his name is) again. Then what do the Dims do, denounce and ridicule their magnificent, heroic, black, intelligent, wonderful, lawful, handsome, etc., hero's nominated person?

In the case one of the libs (hint Ginsburg) drops dead I think it would be hilarious if President Trump nominated Garland (or whatever his name is) again.

Flame suit not needed, your brand of stupid is not subject to flame throwing...pity is required.
Just look at what happened when any demonRAT was pResident, they always got their pick of justices.
I don’t know what the alternative is for now however.
Well the fillibuster in the past didn't stop Ginsburg, Sotomoyer or Kagan, so it would never stop any bat crap crazy lib.
The same thing that would have happened in any case. When they needed the nuclear option Harry Reid chose it. The next Dem leader would have done the same.
Unless they get a Supermajority in the Senate, Gorsuch cannot be Impeached.
Besides, they would have to prove that Gorsuch did something to deserve being Impeached, which he didn’t.
He had nothing to do with the Senate Rule change which would be the only reason the Rats would give it a try.
Yes, I know I’m not saying anything that most here already know. LOL
Admired your analysis during the election, and wanted to get your early view on the Senate situation in 2018.
Do you think the Republicans get 60 seats in 2018?
Yahoo!
That old bitch has been dead and mounted for years.
They have robots moving her limbs and recordings for her voice. They will keep her body preserved for decades.
Shake and bake!
Dems NEVER do well in mid term elections NEVER their base doesn’t even know what a mid term election is!!! DEMS have MANY, MANY, senate seats up this cycle WE NEED to get to the polls and VOTE these BASTARDS OUT!!! Trump needs to get on the trail WE NEED at least 5 more seats don’t know if it is doable but MAYBE!!!
.
The Kushners are on track to give the senate back to the Gimmies in 2018.
.
Limbaugh explained that initially the party with the phoney name (my attribution not Rush’s ie democrat in name only) set up these filibuster rules in 2003 to keep Bush from selecting judges in appeal and district courts. Before then the filibuster procedure didn’t apply so it’s back to the old ways.
Nah. All more fake news. Please stop buying into this stuff.
Great info. Can you point me to a source to read more about this?
Thanks!
This is a done deal. 100% guaranteed that Gorsuch is confirmed.
BOOM!!! Indeed.
Our votes counted. We elected the only man who can save the country. And he appointed the first judge that can save the Constitution!
All other news pales in comparison.
HUGE question: Will Schumer release the other vulnerable Senators to vote past the 60 threshold as his final trick?
