Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned Sunday that Democrats would filibuster Donald Trump's Supreme Court candidates if they are not "mainstream."
"If he doesn't nominate a mainstream candidate, we're going to go at him with everything we've got ... Because this is so, so important," Schumer said on NBC's "Meet the Press." While Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had suggested doing away with the filibuster, Schumer said Republicans "don't come with clean hands, having delayed Merrick Garland for a whole year."
President Obama nominated Garland to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia, but the Republican Senate blocked the nomination in hopes that a Republican would win the White House.
When Trump takes office in January, he will almost certainly appoint a conservative nominee to fill the vacancy.
One person.
And Turley has too much integrity for Democrats to ever accept him. So Trump can give the finger to democrats on this issue...
Stuff it Chuckie.
“Hey Chuckie, remember Harry Reid’s Nuclear Option?”
Schumer is a loyal pawn of Satan and enemy of the state. He promotes murder of innocents and lawlessness and nothing he says should be heeded in any form or fashion.
Oh, pleeeeze. After all the far left pick placed by Obama ?
Whaaaaa! Chuckie needs a blankey and green play-doh or he’s going to stomp his widdle feet and hold his breath until he turns blue. Yeah, then you mean old Trump voters will feel bad.
Schemer needs to take a break and spend time with his family as he has no ability to stop Trump’s picks.
I really despise Schumer, what an ass he is.
I can’t think of a single Democrat in Congress who is a decent human being.
_uck Chuck
Reid did not need it when faced with limp wristed Republicans. Trump’s challenge will be to get them to get with his agenda.
Because Sotomayor and Kagan are so mainstream.
“Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned Sunday that Democrats would filibuster Donald Trump’s Supreme Court candidates if they are not “mainstream.” “
Go ahead Chuckie, we can vote on the same USSC nominee all day, everyday, until he passes.
You’ll tire of talking in a few days, weeks, months,..
Bottom line is nothing else is getting done until he passes!
Yup.. but.. The turtle won’t.
HAAHAHAHAHAHA...I’m sure Trump’s response is something along the lines of “Oooooo...scary”.
I think something has happened to Julian...so it will have to be 4chan
With the Louisiana Senate runoff, the GOP should have 52 Senators to the Dem’s 48 BUT there is a problem for the Dems to block. The upcoming 2018 elections have a bad slant against the Dems with about 10 D-Senators running in Purple to Red States. Some, like Joe Mancin of WV, are more conservative than many GOPe members and that will make even the 60 an easier hurdle to surmount.
Let it. Trump cannot cave. Just keep picking people in the line of Scalia. When Ginsberg croaks we will kind of have the numbers..depending on squishy Roberts
