Hi Jane!
I feel optimistic today, too. Very happy with President Trump’s SCOTUS nominee. Was reading this earlier - didn’t know about this Senate rule (though I probably don’t know about most of them).
Use Senate rules to break Supreme Court filibuster
“Fortunately, invoking the nuclear option isn’t the only way a Senate majority can confirm a Supreme Court justice in the face of minority obstruction.
In a recent Heritage Foundation paper, Ed Corrigan and I detail how Senate rules empower a majority to overcome a filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee — without having to invoke cloture or using the nuclear option.”

Would like to see the republicans refuse to adjourn for this weekend until all are confirmed
Is That in Turtles possibility ?
Thanks for that link.
McTurtle needs to find his inner bark and lay down the law.
Did you know that Schumer voted NO on Turtle’s wife’s nomination????
Time to get tough, Midge.
