Well, the battle lines are drawn aren’t they?
Theoretically, Chuck Schumer and his Democrats could threaten or mount a filibuster.
But then, especially given Harry Reid doing the nuclear option on other presidential nominees, it would be tempting for Mitch McConnell and the GOP to invoke the nuclear option for Supreme Court nominees.
I predict that, if the Democrats let this nomination proceed, that we don’t see a showdown over the nuclear option. I think the GOP will only go there, if they feel their backs are against the wall.
Though whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Harry Reid and Democrats decided to do the nuclear option for presidential nominees. How can they be intellectually honest, and oppose the GOP doing the same, now that the shoe is on the other foot, and the GOP controls the Senate now??
“I predict that, if the Democrats let this nomination proceed, that we dont see a showdown over the nuclear option.”
Easy prediction since if the democrats let it proceed, there is no requirement for a nuclear option.
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.
Reid went nuclear on lower court nominees, a judicial nominee is a judicial nominee. The precedent has been sent.
You aren't serious, are you?
When the Demonrats have the advantage, they take the high road so the presstitutes can demonize the Repubs.
When the Demonrats are at a disadvantage, they bring guns and machetes to a fist fight.
If you read any of Podesta's emails, you know there is nothing honest about the Rats.
