On eve of Trump's Supreme Court pick, top Dem suggests sacrificing Senate seats to stop nomination

It’s very telling, isn’t it. Democrats are willing to sacrifice congressional seats to control the SCOTUS pick. They know they can’t win the arguments in the legislative branch, so they use the tyranny of the courts to dictate the laws to states, and make decrees.

[A_Former_Democrat]

DO IT

And we can get a equally qualified candidate in January with a more comfortable Senate margin

[Nifster]

Yeah that’s the ticket. Mitch will then put it on hold until after the election and get it anyway

[Neoliberalnot]

The RATS have ruled and held power through the courts, not justly, for much of the last 50 years. You can bet there are dozens of commie/socialist/fascist tyrants wearing the DNC logo of blackrobed tyrant.

[sauropod]

You know it.

[Neoliberalnot]

Keep in mind, one commie on the Supreme Court has the power of 10 senators. Heck, look at the Hawaiin Obama appt.; he overrules the Presidemt on US immigration resulting in invasion by a thousand terrorist into the country.

[max americana]

how come Dick here wont start with an example...himself. Talk is cheap bitch.

[I want the USA back]

Actually, they would have nothing to worry about. If they vote to please the dem party, and are not reelected, they are guaranteed a plum job for life, with high pay and low effort.

They will reap the financial rewards, compliments of the dem party.

[grania]

Yeah, genius move for sure. Dems throw away the chance to take a majority in the US Sewer. Then President Trump can nominate someone more Deplorable. What strategy!

[heights]

I got an idea. Why don’t the Democrats Sacrifice themselves to Satan?

[Rashputin]

Wait til’ RBG drops dead two weeks before the mid-terms. All the “news” folks will be screaming at the viewers berating them for not having assassinated Trump yet.

[broken_arrow1]

Fall on your rusty swords...

[Maudeen]

Thank you, Illinois, for Dick Durbin. NOT

[jazusamo]

Agreed...And I believe some already have.

[spintreebob]

Durbin is not totally stupid. He might realize that November is lost anyway. So sacrificing Dems in November is meaningless. Meanwhile, blocking the nominee is still viable in Durbin’s mind. Blocking the nominee will save the establishment Dems from the Cortez style Democratic Socialists.

[Trillian]

The democrats are all sorts of pathetic. #walkaway

[Hugin]

My first thought. Gregg didn’t think that one through much.

[Hugin]

Or Durban rather (I was thinking it was the author’s suggestion).

[M Kehoe]

Said Dick Turban from his safe seat in IL.

Stopping a USSC nomination by “sacrificing Senators seems like a losing proposition, It just puts it off while assuring that the nomination they fear will occur more easily.
