We need to hoist them on their own petard. MAGA ought to throw it back at them. We win, we drop the filbuster and pack the court.
I’m not in favor of either, but let’s at least make them think we would.
Harry Reid was being so clever when he changed the Senate Rules for his team, forgetting that those same rule changes would also work for Republicans............
They always want to do that when they have the majority.
And as soon as they are the minority, they want the filibuster back.
My personal belief is that they should go back to a REAL filibuster, like in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”, not the namby-pamby pseudo filibuster rules they have used for the last 30+ years.
Believe me, at this point in time, IF they ever get the chance by controlling everything, the left will stack the court, enshrine the murder of the innocent unborn in Federal law, and grant citizenship to every illegal here forever...they will do whatever they think it takes to ENSHURE that a republican never has power again.
So, IF the right takes control this time, THEY HAD BETTER DO WHATEVER THEY CAN to make sure that the left is unable to in the future...
Yep. He won’t even wait until January.
Reid should have used "The Clapper" instead of the "Snapper". He was a real "whack job". Whack!
They don’t have the votes to do it now unless they turn Sinema before January.
If Trump wins, the filibuster should be nuked with respect to administrative office confirmations, which were slow-walked for all of Trump’s term, leaving him with hostile Dem holdovers.
Kamala is going to be a housewife (dodging Doug’s wild swings) without a prayer of even getting an MSNBC gig by the time Trump is inaugurated.
The filibuster was not on trump judges. In fact, trump had a historic number of judges then any other first term president in history. Biden happened to get as many put on the bench. Easy to when only 51 votes are needed.
Do they want a Penochete. Because ylthat’s how you get a Penochete.
It’s a double edged sword. I wonder what makes them think they’re going to win big….
I’d be happy getting rid of AOC.
They tried to nuke the Filibuster already. Two of their own Senators rejected the plan. Their Virus Coup was bad enough . If they had succeeded America would be well on its way to dictatorship by now
I pray it doesn’t. Nothing has been done about election integrity and Trump and Junkie Jezebel are running neck and neck. All I know if she does “win” and they pull this one party tyranny sh*t, I am not sitting back to watch it happen, we owe it to our kids and all those before us who fought for our freedom. F these bastards to hell, I’m going to sit back and watch Junkie Jezebel, AOC, Tliab, Omar, 4 dweebs with the combined IQ of a cucumber turn it into a one party tyranny and destroy this country and my freedom? That’s just aint gonna happen.
I’ll humbly suggest that they’re not running neck & neck.
I’ll also suggest the Senate is a done deal because of the numbers. West Virginia will change and so will Montana and/or Ohio at a minimum.
They will.
