Trent Lott. Worthless as warm spit.
Trent Lott is an grey, aging, senile vagina.
It’s a moot point. Repubs will have the majority, so after cloture, the simple majority votes “no”. Might score brownie points for looking civil. two snaps and a circle
Ummmm. No. Now sit down and shut up, Trent.

The difference between the Dems and the Repubs is that the Dems know how to play hardball and will. The Repubs think that reversing the filibuster rules is impressive to the voters. Problem is...after they do it, it’s news for a day or two and then forgotten.
Shut up Lott. You had your chance and you blew it. No one cares about your opinion any longer.
Ah! Reminds me of a 1960s Bill Cosby routine. The Revolutionary War rules: British have to wear red coats and march in big columns. Americans get to wear dark clothes and shoot from behind cover.
This is actually a good idea. If the current rules are in place, the liberal judicial and administrative nominations will pass with a coalition of all dems and a few RINO’s like Grahm, McCain, Murkowski, ect. Changing it back to 60 makes sure some conservatives have to be on board with any nomination.
Quick surrender now before someone asks us to turn their own weapons on them!!
Sure has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
It is my hope that the new Republican majority will treat the Dems with the same amount of respect that was shown to them since 2009.
Trent Lott should go pound sand.
Trent Lott is an evil, Tea Party hating, hell, CONSERVATIVE-hating SOB!!
Keep it as it is, and make it a point to refer to it as the “Harry Reid Rule.”
Idiots. (spit)
McConnell should announce that he’ll revert to the centuries-old traditional policy once all the Democrats who’ve benefited from the ‘nuclear option’ have left the Senate.
If Democrats want the old procedures back, all they have to do is convince Reid, Shumer, Durbin and the rest of that criminal enterprise to resign or retire.
Trent Lott’s in a street fight where the bad guys are using knives and he’s trying to use Queensberry rules.
“Trent Lott seems to have come out of the woodwork with lots of bad (and anti-conservative) advice for Mitch McConnell.”

I think a lot of FReepers do not have the best understanding of this issue. Even Trent Lott, just as a broken clock, can be right occasionally by happenstance.
As long as the anti-American Obama is president, the 60 vote closure rule should be kept - at least for judicial nominees votes.
Trent is lucky his ass isn’t in jail right now. The best thing he can do is shut the hell up.
Is this the Power Sharing with Democrats Trent Lott ?
