Lee and Collins in opposition, yet again? Time to boot them out of the GOP. They are RINO’s at best...

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

Piff, piff and again I say, PIFF!!!

Are you (or Mike Lee) seriously suggesting NOT passing this rules change would inhibit the RATs in any degree or manner, at any time or place?

I have no words for pathetic Susan Collins.

Worth repeating! Nor do I.

Has anybody cataloged all the “nuclear options” that have been triggered over the years?

The funny thing is the sun still rises in the east, people still go to work and church, and the Republic is still standing (so far, at least).

It will never pass.

No "Pass" involved... It is only a Senate Rules change and is a "Done Deal". As others commented..., better late than never. "Comity" in the Senate died years ago..., only the Pubs refused to acknowledge that fact!

Yes. It’s called Harry Reid blowback. It will come just like it did to the Dems.

it just did.

This is Senate only.

Moreover, it’s faster than it appears (2 hrs) in that GOP will not even use its 1 hr of debate.

Say whatever else you will, this is Cocaine Mitch’s strong suit.

What the hell is wrong with Mike Effing Lee? Does he identify as a eunuch?

Shhhhhhh....everyone be very quiet. Make no movement that could signal we are here..if you draw the attention of the Bobtailed Republican, do NOT make eye contact, as this could spook the herd and cause a potential stampede..... No pictures, please. There will be plenty of to.e to capture their habitat once it can be proven they are no longer on the Endangered Species List. Shhhhhh...

I’m glad Trump didn’t nominate Mike Lee for USSC. What is in the water in Utah?

I agree, he’s been good on judges.

Lee is really lame on some things, I pray he doesn’t turn into another Flake.
