Once again thank you Harry Reid

“What a further disgrace it would be if our Republican colleagues march in lockstep,” Schumer said before the vote.

But Democrats nixed the 60-vote filibuster for lower court nominations in 2013, meaning they can’t block a Trump court pick without help from Republicans.”

Close majorities are the very worst thing for the citizenry. Any one or few senators can go rouge and demand blackmail payments for their vote.

Murkowski, Sasse, Romney, and Collins bring any pro-life nominee down to 49.

Tim Scott going wobbly again. I suppose because he doesn’t want judges who believe in vote integrity?

"What a further disgrace it would be if our Republican colleagues march in lockstep," Schumer said before the vote.

Yet this is exactly what you demand of Democrats. Hypocrite. Schumer would only be content if Democrats all voted for his desires and Republicans as well. This is his idea of 'bi-partisan'.

Roy Moore would support the president’s picks for the Judiciary.

And yet Mitch McConnell campaigned against him

So he’s *controversial*.

That’s code word for *dems don’t like his conservative position on anything*.

Because the only time anything is *controversial* is when the libs/dems/media don’t approve of it.
