McConnell is on the record saying Gorsuch will be approved by the Senate. If he lets a filibuster kill the nomination he will be finished as leader. Don't worry, the nomination will go through, after much huffing and puffing.

If McConnell refuses to go nuclear, Cruz or some GOP Senator should openly call for the GOP Senate caucus to reconsider who its leader should be.

Please do! I REALLY hope they filibuster. For one thing it forces Republicans to back Trump and two it forces them to fight back. The worst thing that can happen is the “deal” they’ve been suggesting. Let them filibuster. Mitch is an idiot!

Good. Best to use the nuclear option now and have the use of it settled for future Supreme Court nominees so those won’t be compromised on.

The chaos the dems are causing further demonstrates how close we are to learning the truth about everything.

The intel community is not going down without a fight. They may not even go down but they are going to be severely damaged.

What happened to the tactic of the "legislative day?"

I thought an idea was floated to avoid the nuclear option by calling the vote for Gorsuch a single legislative day. That would mean that each Senator is limited to two speeches in one legislative day. Therefore, cloture is forced after each Senator has spoken twice or no more Senators rise to speak.

There is no filibuster because there is no cloture vote. Cloture is called automatically because no more debate is possible.

I like this no-nuke strategy. Let the Dems filibuster. While that continues. Trump holds rallies in the states where those 10 Dem senators live until the filibuster stops.

If he gets to ten, then push the button.

Of course they are. Remember this you cowardly SOB’s in the GOP who voted for Sotomayor and Kagen because “the President should get his pick.”

The Republican Party needs to go the way of the Whigs.

Good. The closer we come to the death of the filibuster, the better. It’s nothing but n excuse for inaction.

Make them actually filibuster. Let’s stop kowtowing to the left. Stand in the well for as long as they plan to hold up this nomination.

Republicans, make him stand and talk. A REAL filibuster. Not the fake “I just have to say it and not actually do it” kind. Then have the vote ready as soon as he is done with all of the Senators that are present.

Or, just nuke him from space. It’s the only way to be sure!!!!!

No useful purpose is served by permitting the demonic-rats to stall Judge Gorsuch’s election to SCOTUS.
