Did they borrow one of Pelosi’s testicles?

GOP Sens. Mike Lee (Utah) and Susan Collins (Maine) joined with Democrats in opposing the rules change.

Wait, what, Romney supported this and Lee didn't?

What is wrong with Lee? Why vote against this? It makes no sense.

I know Mitch is a RINO ass*ole but he knows how to rally the troops to get things done. This must be the “exchange” with PDJT regarding “keep obamacare alive” from yesterday..

I’m sure there was a deal in place to get Mutt on board. What that deal is, it’s gonna hurt Trump because Smitch and Linda Graham are totally onboard on this issue..

In hindsight, the judges will help the country in the long term even when we have a Dummycrat prez in the future.

“Wait, what, Romney supported this and Lee didn’t?”

Maybe they just automatically count Romney with the Dhims.

It’s not a rule change, it’s a change of precedent.

The Hill doesn’t care- as long as an article gets some knocks in on Republicans they’ve done their job.

I’m guessing Trump cut a deal. He backed off shuting down the border for this probably.

“It will never pass.”

it just did: that’s what the article is about ... Senate rule changes require only a majority vote ...

Lee would have been thinking of payback.

In the future when the senate shifts control to democrats—the republicans will be under the same regime that they created. they will not be able to slow walk democrat nominations for the lower courts or the executive

Could be. Smitch is a deep state POS RINO and he wont do anything for the country unless he has something to gain..
