Republicans invoked the "nuclear option" in the Senate Thursday, unilaterally rewriting the chamber's rules to allow President Donald Trump's nominee to ascend to the Supreme Court.
Furious Democrats objected until the end, but their efforts to block Judge Neil Gorsuch failed as expected. Lawmakers of both parties bemoaned the long-term implications for the Senate, the court and the country....

Well, it’s another big step forward. But I won’t count it done until it’s done.
Here’s hoping. And praying.
They weren’t so outraged when they repeatedly threatened to do the same thing. Multiple times.
Clearing the way for this and probably a couple more Supreme Court judges.
“Lawmakers of BOTH PARTIES bemoaned the long-term implications for the Senate, the court and the country.”
Still kissing the asses of their “friends across the aisle. Yet another indication that the GOPe lost and we won...
The Republicans let all the Democrat choices in, so they gain their Judges, but in truth there was no harm to Democrats.
Yup. The Reid Option.
Good, there was a headline yesterday that Republicans were almost out of compromises. There is no telling what GOPe was promising.
Democrats deserve the nuclear option.

Good long term move.
Anyone who believes Dems wouldn’t have done it on their SJ pick if necessary is fooling themselves..

Thanks, reid, for showing us the way.
So much sage advice ignored by the rats. In this case “never take a power you do not want your opposition to have.”
In 40 years this may come back and bite Republicans (since the picks for Trump and Pence should last that long) but I am willing to take that chance.
It will take some time for the RATs to get over the soreness

Signed,
America
Or the movie, “Hunt for Reid Bipolar.”

There won’t be an America left if the left gets power again. They’re already talking about importing hundreds of millions of African refugees created by the west giving massive amounts of food and medical-care to Africans. The Islamic invasion from Syria to Europe was just testing the waters for moving the Muslim Africans over. If they win it will be war or genocide and we’re the Native Americans this time.
So, has he been confirmed? What are we waiting for?
Schumer and the Clintons will be drunks tonight. Maybe the fake Indian too.
Fake news again. It was not unilateral nor was it even a republican plan when first proposed.
Reid enabled the process and the dims intended to do the same thing because they were sure the hildabeast would win the election and the republicans would fillibuster a court nominee.
The Republicans used reid's rule change against the dims.
