The Repubs need to invoke the nuclear option now, because if they don’t, you can be damn sure the Dems will next time they have control of the Senate.

They’re the ones who first used the nuclear option, and they’re sure to use it again.

A real filibuster or just a threat to?

Well, unless 8 Democrats cross the isle, time to use the nuclear option - and I’d use it for all bills and not just USSC.

This should end the filibuster once and for all. The destruction of the Senate began a century ago. It will be finalized with the end of the filibuster. They are now just another House of Representatives with longer terms.

Maybe Schumer’s lying. Maybe someone told him to keep his powder dry for the next nomination. Why am I saying this? Because when liberals speak, they’re lying.

If they pull this with Gorsuch, then next time, Trump needs to put up a Scalia on Steroids for the old bat’s replacement.

Stupid Dems. After Gorsuch is confirmed by 52 GOP votes, the next selection, after Ginsburg leaves, may be far more conservative than Gorsuch and the Dems won’t be able to stop him/her since the precedent for the nuclar option has been set.

Good! I saw articles earlier, hinting that the ‘Rats were suggesting they were open to a “deal” on Gorsuch. That would have meant McCain and Graham giving the next open seat to a ‘Rat.

Time to get rid of the filibuster.

Use majority on health care, too. And tax cuts.

Let’s just kill it. It’s not served the nation well.

If they do it, then all bets are off for the two liberal judges that are about to retire while Trump is in office.

If the Dems want to play that way, replace the liberal judges with conservative ones and call it done.

And use the nuke option then, too.

Time to remind the 10 Senate Dems up for re-election in 2018, this is the time to be independent or get campaigned out of office.

Two options - Eliminate the filibuster or invoke the two speach rule and break the filibuster. I think it was Yogi Berra who said “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”.

Force the GOP to go for the nuclear option and do away with the filibuster for SC nominees. It will make it that much easier to replace Ginsberg.
