What goes around, comes around.
Good for them to get a taste of their own medicine.
Most of Clinton’s appointees should be ready to retire soon or die......................
Democrats never think past the end of their noses.................
The same thing will happen if they use chicanery to undermine the Electoral College. They day will come when they wind up losing an election due to precisely that.
It is very difficult to change the Constitution, so I doubt they will be able to do that any time soon....................
Then for the Supreme court a 51 vote is needed to confirm...
“It is very difficult to change the Constitution”
That’s what activist judges are for. There are all sorts of demons lurking in the penumbra of the penumbra.
The Democrats thought they were on an unstoppable trajectory to consolidate unlimited power. So of course they wanted to remove any obstacles to that goal.
Another one is the the German saying: Wie du mir, so ich zu dir.
The Democrats thought the GOP would never regain control of the Senate.
And they’d be able to block anything Trmp proposed.
What will they be able to do when the GOP has 60 seats in the upper chamber?
Schadenfreude! Mitch McConnell would never haved repealed the filibuster confirmation rule.
Harry Reid unintentionally turned out to be the GOP’s best friend.
That’s why the federal courts are now being filled with conservatives and all Democrats can do is stew and watch.
The liberals are always too willing to change the rules when in power to make gains. But they are also the biggest whiners when the tables turn and they get those same rules changes used against them.
I say shove it mercilessly down their collective throats until they choke and die politically speaking, of course.
Hoist with their own petard.
Yep. Time to ram every single judicial nomination down their throats as well as every ambassador and other executive branch appointee.
No idea who is stressing about the Senate going Diem, but anyone who does is silly. The Senate is most likely going to go +7 to +9 for the GOP in November. 23 Dem seats are up for grabs, and only 11 GOP seats. President Trump won 11 of those Dem states. Hillary won only 1 of the 11 GOP states. Current polling, even by the Lefty outlets, has the Senate going +7, meaning 58-42 GOP.
Hopefully we get the Limited Government Republicans in those new seats, and not more McConnell twits. But again, fretting over the Senate is either misguided, or just more attempts to motivate GOP turnout for the House and for state seats.
I’m glad the Republicans are using the Harry Reid Rule.
What the hell?
Since when do Republicans force Democrats to live by their own rules?
MAGA!
Boo, f’ing hoo! They’re the ones that broke all of the traditions, and now they’re upset about the result? F’em!
The way I see things developing, the Pubbies will gain about 5 seats in the Senate and lose at most 5 in the House (with a chance of winning seats). Trump will handily win re-election (maybe even in a real landslide if the economy keeps going, the NK thing ends well, and the Dems continue to act like retarded 5-year-olds). WRT judicial nominees, by the end of his 2nd term, there will be basically no vacancies - its just not his style to leave a bunch of loose ends, nor to allow the next guy to dismantle his legacy.
