What a load of bull. Democrat politicians live in the moment. If they cannot get their lefty judge in with 60 votes, they will do it with a majority. The word principle does not exist in the Dem mindset.

Well, they better or they’re going to be very unhappy.

And we’re just getting started.

I think we’ve got at least eight to 16 years of this to go too.

Do you realize that we may have appointed every SCOTUS justice to the bench by 2032, if Trump produces and Pence follows on sticking to his ideals.

Ouch!!!!

Ed Markey: you can tell when he is lying because his mouth is moving and his hand is in your pocket.

Markey is known as one of the least intelligent members of the Senate...

Oh that's right, Boxer retired, giving other people a chance to be noticed at the bottom of the heap.

This is coming from a Sinator from a state (my state) which continually changes the rules for Sinators, depending on whether a Republican or a 'Rat occupies Beacon Hill (back-n-forth from special election to gov appointment).

When NY and CA get 5 Senators each, they will be re-taking the Senate. But as long as 37 states vote red, it is not happening.

“Democrats mounted the votes to filibuster Gorsuch, a rarity for Supreme Court picks. “

A rarity? I think it’s the first time ever there was filibuster for SCOTUS.

Doesn’t matter if they don’t

GOP never makes a stand

I’ mean we voted in two ultra liberals with nary a peep
