Good. By the way, not a RULE, it was a customary procedure of Senatorial Courtesy.
Extending a courtesy to pigs like Schumer is an exercise in stupidity.
Casting pears before that swine will give him something to clutch while he drinks his hot chocolate in his safe place.
“Extending a courtesy to pigs like Schumer is an exercise in stupidity.”
BINGO!!
What true conservative couldn’t see that there was no point in keeping the filibuster because if/when dems gain majority again they were going to change it back to simple majority again themselves.
Weren’t Reid’s two rules changes enough evidence the last 10 years or so? Filibustering Alberto Gonzales to prevent Bush from making first Hispanic SCOTUS pick (was DC Court of Appeals I think but next step from there would’ve been SCOTUS) then abolishing filibuster for Obama nominees.
“What would trigger a filibuster
In a significant development, Reid set forth some of the conditions that would trigger a Democratic attempt at a filibuster to block President Bush’s nominee to fill the vacancy created by the impending retirement of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
EMPHASIS:
Reid said it would be “a real poke in the eye with a sharp stick if they give us (any of) the 10 (judicial nominees) we turned down” by filibusters in 2003 and 2004.”
