The ONLY choice is to nuke the Dems and get our judges in, and then make the libs follow up on their threat to "shutdown the Senate", exposing them as the obstructionists to freedom that they are.

That is NOT a choice now that the 7 RINOS have defected. I'll say this one more time. The Nuke option requires 51 votes. There are 55 Republicans in the Senate. 55 minus 7 does not equal 51.

The agreement they made isn't legally binding, it's just a gentleman's agreement. Since the libs have already violated the spirit of the agreement, the seven should wake up and pull out of the deal.

They jumped parties - without changing the R and while still sucking party resources.

I'll say this one more time. MAKE THEM VOTE. I bet when they have to vote they will "do the right thing". Otherwise, we will really know where they stand. Don't give them a fig leaf. Don't give them cover. Drive them, press them, embarrass them, until they surrender and see it our way or are out of the party. Give them no quarter and no peace. Make LBJ look like a Mamma's boy. Attack, attack, attack and the weak ones, which will be enough, will buckle.
