Trent Lott is still alive, apparently.
So let me get this straight. We revert to the old rules. In the interim, of course, Obama packed the Courts.
Then, (barring a Romney II/Jeb Bush/ChristieCrem nomination) we win the White Hut in 2016. Let’s say as a bonus, we keep the Senate.
The result, no, none, nadda judicial nominations will advance past the dem filibuster.
So, when we lose, we lose. When we win, we lose. Yipee for the McCain/prisoner wing of the Republican Party.
McConnell may be a lot of things, and one of them is this: he is smarter than Trent Lott.
I remember Lott’s time in the Senate. Remarkably unremarkable.
Your departure did much to improve the bilious atmosphere, but as far as enhancing the minority party's power in any way...suck an egg.
Harry Reid shall reap what he sowed.
(I hope...so far I'm not overly impressed.)
Trent Lott (RINO) suggests the way forward for McConnell (Uber RINO)? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Why can’t these old political horses just go away?
I suspect if Keystone Pipeline and a few others come up during the first few days of the “new” Senate, that there will be some interesting bipartisan backslapping going on.
Will it last? I don't know how bad certain Democratic Senators want to be reelected, but it could.
Why?
Sure, we can do that... the day before we lose the majority.
“Lott said restoring the minority party’s power to filibuster nominees could help improve the Senate’s bilious atmosphere.”
Just like you did right Trent? You gutless hack.
Trent is right on this one (but probably for the wrong reasons). With the likes of Sissy Graham, John McLame, and other RINOs and members of the GOPe, we can’t count on a “simple majority” to block King Obama. I urge Mitch to revoke and study the nuke option until after the 2016 election. If we win the POTUS and keeps the Senate, then the study is complete and we reinstate the nuke option and thank Reid for the precedent.
There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the rats and the gop. The same people own them both.
The same Jackwagon who did a power sharing with Tom Daschle and then got it stuck in his gizzard after they flipped Jumpin'-Jim-Jeffords?
What a Surrender Monkey...
Has he co-opted the new Senate class yet?

I don’t know, a large number of Obama nominees might find the 4 necessary RINO votes to be confirmed.
I would keep Reid’s nuclear option for at least a year and put the entire GOP caucus on the spot to do the right thing on any leftist freak that Obama puts forward. If there are any close call votes on some liberal ideologues he pushes, the heat needs to be on the RINO’s to stay in line or face the heat from the voters.
This Trent Lott suggestion is so aggravating. These republicans behave like such wusses. I wish Ted Cruz was majority leader and Mike Lee was the whip. We might get somewhere with them in charge.
Why not share control?
Trent and mitch would caztrate themselves if you handed the a pair of hedge clippers and told them the dems like eunuchs.....
Oh, wait a minute. I think I get it...
