Democrats are bristling over Republicans decision to invoke the “nuclear option,” arguing that they can’t simultaneously complain about the pace of nominations while setting a record for some court nominees.

These DemoCommies are being rude.

Perhaps Captain Woodrow Call should explain to them the consequences of rudeness.

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

Is there any way to kick Utah out of the country?

Maybe a $3 bill and some magic underwear?

I just don’t get it, either.

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

Make me happy s a left-leaning State.

Collins is probably the best we can hope for.

I’m sure they counted the number of votes needed to pass, then let COLLINS off the hook so she has cover. It’s how they do it.

I’m not afraid... We need to root out judicial activism now. It’s a gable very worth taking.

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?

My first thought as well. Democrats have no shame and will pull ANY stunt to forward their agenda. Stalling on our part in the hope the other side won't do it is useless.

Admittedly, I was stunned.

I didn’t figure the uptight, rigid McConnell would dare to act like the slime ball Schumer, but, by golly, he sure did!
Woo-hoo!

Took the old turtle long enough, but now it’s finally done!

On to boatloads of confirmations!

The Dems will be stumbling over themselves to make these changes as soon as they regain power in the Senate. No reason to postpone the inevitable.

The Senate is already well positioned to check the excesses of the House by virtue of its composition (2 per state) - it does not need a 60-vote supermajority requirement for every Tom, Dick and Harry that is appointed to head a team of bureaucrats.

I hear you and I too was leery but tried to focus on the best side of it.

Boatloads of confirmations will be fantastic and so will the Rats going into orbit over them. ;^)

Absolutely, the Rats even said they were willing to do this but not at this time.

Thank the Lord Mitch didn’t stand down.

The Second Congressional District was carried by Donald Trump by 10 points. It covers 80% of the state and is VERY strong 2nd Amendment country.

It’s the more heavily populated First Congressional District in Southern Maine....the Portland area....that is more liberal and screws up the state.

He’s a complete cuck and he despises President Trump. He hides behind fear of Democrats using the same tactics. No, no, no, Mikey. They invented the tactics. They will always use them, and they rely on us being the good guys who won’t. Those days are (finally) over.

There was a somewhat conservative Governor, so it is possible to win a statewide election... but not easy.
