Its never necessary for the Democrats. There’s always a bunch of Republicans voting for the Dems nominee no matter how bad they are.
To: Mr. Douglas
the actual vote which happens tomorrow.

The Republicans were practically begging the dems not to do this. This is so dumb on the dems part. Letting Gorsich get approved without a filibuster would've given them some leverage next nomination.
Actually, I'm not sure this is good. A real lot of Republicans in DC are phonies. Now they'll be able to reach 50 without depending on conservatives. We have to hope that Trump stays firm if anyone else comes up, he chooses a pro-Constitution conservative.

I sincerely believe that when Gorsuch gets confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate that the Trumo Aministration will start pounding away at rogue judges like the ones infesting the 9th Circuit.

Hurray! Congratulations to Judge Gorsuch, who will surely be confirmed in tomorrow’s vote.

“times werent so outraged when they repeatedly threatened to do the same thing. Multiple times”
I read a figure earlier in the week that stated the dems have used in nuclear option 11 times.

And on to the confirmation and then fill ALL those hundreds of vacant judgeships with quality Constitution-supporting people. that will go a long way toward fixing the current mess.

No chance. Unless they die. Ginsburg will never step down now.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Democrats wanted to obstruct, so they are to blame for the rule change, not the GOP.

The dems set the stage and ultimately stabbed themselves in the back on this one.

Anyone who believes Dems wouldnt have done it on their SJ pick if necessary is fooling themselves. Tim Kaine said as much.
