Well, the “stolen seat” meme is what they are going on but the left in DC and in all positions of power around the nation are being held captive by fascist dogs.
Their only concern on either front is control.
The Democraps asked for these nuts years ago and invited them in.
Oh Well.
1992 - Plugs Biden espoused the "Biden Rule". (No president should appoint a supreme court justice in his last year in office).
2013 - Dirty Harry Reid used the nuclear option to scrap the filibuster on all appointments except for supreme court justices.
2017 - Sleazy Schmuck Shumer whines and threatens filibuster on Judge Gorsuch when the GOP controls the senate.
These dim democrats sure know how to make horse's asses out of themselves.
The Alt-Left keep referring to this as a stolen Supreme Court pick. They’ve become so used to the legislative branch of the government being neutered by the executive and judicial, that the term “advice and consent” of the senate means that they HAVE to accept a presidential appointment. Of course, not to choose is a choice, and not to advise is advice.
I was watching C-Span when Vice President Pence said this. The democrats threw down the gauntlet today when they had Senator Ed Markey use their response to President Trump’s weekly address to condemn Judge Gorsuch. Putting Senator Mitch McConnel’s wife Elaine Chao in the Transportation Department may have been the shrewdest move Pres Trump as made to date. It sounds as if the Republicans are going to play hardball this time and go nuclear. Overall this will be in the Republicans’ best long term interest since they would never stand united enough to filibuster a democrat nominee. I haven’t had this much fun watching C-SPAN since 1995!

Good article on this today from Drudge!!
After 6 months or-so they will say enough is enough and nuke the nominee through turning 5-3 into 6-3. And if Trump is re-elected there's a better than even chance he will get 2 more in.
On brietbart radio they mentioned that in 2006 all the rats including schumer, ried, pelosi, and a few others all voted yes to his nomination to a lower court, now they have issues with him. What a bunch of pukes
I like Mike, my former Governor. It’s good to see Donald rubbing off on him.
i take it back. Bork was outright rejected, not filibustered.
I hope he doesn't like Democrat pizza.
McConnell threatened Reid back when the Democrat communists went nuclear that when the GOP was in control, they would go nuclear on legislation and the SCOTUS in retaliation.
Reid was unfazed and went nuclear anyway, and McConnell of course has not kept his word.
Get ready for more protests From the libtards when he’s confirmed. They’re the biggest g d cry babies!
The left has resorted to using leftist judges to get their way...as always when they lose elections or are in violation of law.
It's crucial we have Gorsuch on the court even if the nuke option is necessary.
And we desperately need Sessions in at AG so he can start directing and firing US Attorneys.
How do we describe the series of events that happened to Bork?
I would be shocked if one or both of BO’s “ladies” had a problem with health. At least one is diabetic, both may be obese.
The democrats have never seen payback until now more to ensue at a high rate of speed.
Our disadvantage has been the GOP playing by the Golden Rule. Dims have no such qualms or ethics. It has put conservatives behind the 8 ball every time in recent decades, like Charlie Brown and the football.
A strong leader needs to teach the spineless GOP Congress that Alinsky can go both ways.
