With attempts to attack Judge Brett M. Kavanaughs record failing, Democrats over the weekend mounted a last-ditch bid to derail his confirmation to the Supreme Court by claiming that the vetting process is so bad that it demands a do-over.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota Democrat, expressed remorse that her party eviscerated the power of the filibuster five years ago, leaving them no path to stop Judge Kavanaugh, barring Republican defections.
Ms. Klobuchar, who voted with fellow Democrats in 2013 to trigger the nuclear option and curtail the filibuster, said she would support reverting to the 60-vote rule should her party regain the Senate.

More and more, everyday, Americans regret ties to their votes for democrats and are fleeing the plantation
A quibble: “President Obama wasn’t able to get his nominees” because the Republicans had begun to use the same parliamentary tricks the Dems had first used to torpedo Alberto Gonzales’s confirmation. Let’s not forget that any so-called “decline in decorum” or “gamesmanship” or “destruction of longstanding tradition” always starts with the Dems. Klobuchar doesn’t get to blame the Republicans for reacting to Democrat perfidy.
Nuke 'em till they glow and shoot 'em in the dark!
Democrats have much to regret. They’re probably too crass and too stupid to realize it.

No she wouldn't, until the last day before they relinquished control again. Thanks kevcol.
I see a deal in the works.
I will trade you a reinstatement of the 60 vote floor, for a deal to:
Fire all Federal Judges, including Supreme Court, and accepting ALL of President Trumps nominees to re-fill all Federal Judge bench’s in every jurisdiction.
Payback’s a beotch!
So the senator of ‘small things’ has regrets? Tiny violins are playing for you, sweetie.
Got your panties in a twist? cool..you earned it..
Gee, Amy, how about 75 votes to end filibuster?
I’m so sorry, but you did it so, I’m LOL...
The Supreme Court upheld most of the law in a 2003 case, but seven years later, in the Citizens United case, it ruled that the restrictions on outside groups were unconstitutional just as Judge Kavanaugh predicted.
That left a situation where parties are still heavily restricted, but conservative and liberal groups are not and they have become an overwhelming force in campaigns, also as Judge Kavanaugh predicted.
I guarantee you that if/when the demonRATs regain control in the senate, they will do it.

That’s an awesome idea...well thought out and fool proof....(rolling eyes)
You never know, the Dim’s might actually go for it
——You never know, the Dims might actually go for it-—
They even aren’t that dumb....
You do realize after midterms we might have 67 votes
Dems can go play in their sandbox. We can completely ignore them...
Back then with hussein at the helm they were all convinced that democrats would be in power for the next 100 years.
lol
At least they didn’t say they would be in power for 1000 years.
