“If they don’t appoint someone who’s really good, we’re going to oppose him tooth and nail,” the minority leader said. “They won’t have 60 votes to put in an out-of-the-mainstream nominee.”

Schumer says Democrats will filibuster Supreme court nominees.

[HamiltonJay]

Dems got away with BORK and tried to do it with Thomas, they will do anything... Time to make sure Republicans get 8 more seats in 18.

[1Old Pro]

I’m sure the media will be apoplectic over Schumer not giving the President a vote. LOL

[SoFloFreeper]

You go for it, Chuck. Please.

[Cowboy Bob]

I hope Schumer is prepared to get schlonged.

[pinkandgreenmom]

And by “mainstream” I can only assume he means very far left.

[ealgeone]

Not going to need 60 votes. Just 51 thanks to dingy harry.

[b4its2late]

Screw him.

[LS]

Won’t work. Nuclear option gone on this.

[Da Coyote]

“Really good” to a dim-bulb-crat means that they can read at the fifth grade level and have a driver’s license, and most important - they are naive liberals with no perception of reality,

Nuke option used repeatedly by democrats.

Besides that, I’ve never believed in the filibuster.

[Mr. K]

Shut up schmucky

You guys changed the rules so you can’t do anything

Now we just need to figure out a way to make the “wise latina” and fatass dyke retire. Is impeachment a possibility if they make up their own rules?

Let's see that fight. Trump needs to be tested early. Let's find out once and for all whether he can beat Schumer at his game.

In four years, the next who are likely to retire/die are Ginsberg, Kennedy and Breyer. We can go with 7 or 6. Eventually it might be a problem when we are down to Alito, Roberts, Kagan and Sotomayor.

[DoodleDawg]

And does this surprise anyone?

[rktman]

The welcoming spirit of cooperation is just awesome isn’t it. Didn’t the lyin’ king get most of his appointments within the first 9 or 10 days? Smooth transition of power my rosy red.................

[COBOL2Java]

Asked if he would do his best to hold the seat open, Schumer responded, “Absolutely.”

Hey Schmucky, meet President Trump...

[jjotto]

Schumer bluffing to get in the news.

With GOP in control, the Senate could be sure to go into official recess and allow Trump a recess appointment that might be even less to the Schumer-McCain wing’s liking and let the next election have a voice.

[Lopeover]

Elections have consequences.

[ibheath]

The upcoming electoral map for the Senate doesn’t support this type of action. There are 33 seats up for grabs next election, and only 8 are currently Republican. Many of the Dem seats are in states that Trump won easily. If those Senators obstruct Trump, they are likely to lose those seats. I don’t think Schmuck with be able to drum up the votes for blocking nominees.
