Yep.

And end the filibuster on everything.

If the Democrats won’t “work across the aisle”, then proceed without them.

Reid promised to go nuclear, but more importantly, Tim Kaine, who fully expected to be VP, he also promised to go nuclear on justices - watch.

Make them do a real filibuster, enough of folding to a threat of filibuster. Let them talk until they can’t talk anymore and then vote.

The grandiosity of the setting’s getting to their brains. We don’t send people to Congress to ‘set the right tone’... We send them to get some friggin work done.

Confirm Gorsuch then move on to the next task. The MSM will hate our guys no matter what they do, so they might as well dance with the ones that brumg ‘em.

Democrats aren’t going to like the way this turns out. Gorsuch is a replacement for Scalia, he’s not going to turn the balance of the court. If the Democrats want to force the nuclear option now over Gorsuch, they’re going to have to deal with the fact that Trump will be able to get his SC nominees approved by a simple majority vote if Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Anthony Kennedy decide to step down in the next year or two.

Where in the Constitution does it require 60 votes to confirm an appointment?

I agree with Levin. It’s not the nuclear option. It’s the American option. Time for the boys in Congress to learn how to market and talk to the American people.

Congress goes into recess next week. Maybe Trump should just make a recess appointment and be done with it.

The Republicans should stop referring to it as the nuclear option. Whenever the press brings it up, correct them and call it the Reid option.

Do it already. If/when the Democrats take power again the filibuster is gone anyway.

I would pretend the Democrats don’t exist.

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
