Support Free Republic, Folks!
Republicans have been fuming for years over the slow pace of confirmation votes on Trump’s pick, accusing Democrats of misusing the chamber rulebook to drag out otherwise uncontroversial nominees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. You have been in power for some years now, stop whining
2. ALL his nominees are controversial...and racist and stuff
3. All democrats will vote NO on every one anyway.
Do it. Who cares about precedent, the Democrats will do it anyway once they regain power. The ends justifies the means, that is the reality of the situation we’re now in.
This slow walking of nominees started under Bush43 by Democrats.
Democrats complained that Republicans did this to Obama judges, but I cannot find anything close to what we see today.
Discard the old rules. They were designed for a time when the democrats acted in good faith. Those days are long gone. Don’t even bother consulting with them anymore. Just go around them.
And just why the heck not?
“PLOTS” for Republicans.....it would be “PLANS” for Democrats! Like “PLOTS” is supposed to say “SINISTER”!
F 60 vote cloture McConnell, you worthless piece of KY scum.
Wake up KY.
Two years in and he still is not fully staffed. This is unacceptable
You know, it’s been two full years and they couldn’t come up with this before now?
Honestly what the heck do these folks do for a day job? They sure aren’t serving us!
About Damn Time.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
‘plots’ yea right!
Alternately, after a few weeks to study the list, all nominees are up for confirmation as a group, unless 51 Senators sign a petition to remove specific individuals from the list for further hearings.
Preston Brooks had an accomplice, Carolina Representative Laurence M. Keitt, who is said to have kept assistance for Sumner at bay with another cane and a pistol.
Wikipedia's assertions of assistance by Keitt are all dated in the 21st century. I looked at those sources, and did not find any mention of a pistol.
plots?
Imagine if the Republicans, who were fighting against Trump as hard as the Democrats, had done this 1 1/2 years ago.
RINO Blunt is looking forward to re-election. Otherwise, he’s still SWAMP.
The demoncraps do stuff cuz they can - like a dog when he licks his private parts.
Make a simple majority! To hell with the 60 votes!! Jacka$$ pubes will bind themselves now, while the rats will use nuclear option anyway. What a bunch of dumbasses!
It’s a gall durned PLOT! Git on the wire!!!
