This morning, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced the Democrats will filibuster Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court. If you listen to the media, Republicans will have to use the "nuclear option" to confirm Gorsuch with 51 votes. But the media, as usual, misses the point: Harry Reid already pushed the button and the Senate is a nuclear wasteland.

What happened to Rule 19?
I think Republicans let the Demonrats run the agenda even when they are supposed to be in charge...no wonder nothing changes..

Do it already. If/when the Democrats take power again the filibuster is gone anyway.
RULE RUTHLESSLY!!!!!!
I would pretend the Democrats don’t exist.
Hmmm
Using the “Reid Option”
Rule 19.
I like it.
I bet he keeps an eye on the proceedings as they unfold.
Recess appointment is temporary. Not a good option for a lifetime position.
Ah, excellent point.
Nuke it instead.
Funny how Republicans voted for Gainsburg, Breyer, Kagan, etc but the Dems will always fight the GOP nominees.
Six of the seven Dwarfs are not Happy.
Kagen is a total Hack.
Now come the McCain backstab to end all backstabs.
BEEN saying this since day one.
If Trump is going to make America Great Again he is going to have to go Nuclear on the Filibuster. You can’t deal with the traitorous judges, the deep state, the sanctuary mayors and city and county councils with 60 senate votes in your way every single time. The Senate is way to big of a Rino infested swamp to even start to believe you are gonna get some demonrats on board.
Nuke the Filibuster or drown in the swamp.....and until they do ....you know its the same old fun and games.
Remember Bush had the House and Senate also....and didn’t do squat....why? Because the dems would bottle everything up in the Senate. But if Bush had nuked the filibuster....
When Ginsburg retires for whatever reason Trump should put up Ann Coulter as her replacement. I’m gonna have to buy more popcorn for the hearings. LOL
The Democrats clearly intend to use liberal judges to impede our agenda. The 4-4 supreme court will allow them to get away with that indefinitely. we won’t get a damned thing done until we get Gorsuch nominated so he has to be nominated by any means necessary.
Yes, totally agree. I pray Neil Gorsuch will be all that us fellow conservatives hope that he will be.
You may appreciate as I have this video:

Watch McConnell leave the filibuster in place so the courts and block whatever they want.
51 and done.
The standard for the next 8 years.
