Harry Reid did the nuclear option for lower court judges, and other pres. nominees needing Senate approval.

If it comes to the nuclear option for the Supreme Court nominees, they will just be finishing the job Harry Reid and Democrats started. How can Democrats complain about this, when they did the nuclear option when it suited their partisan political purposes???

Or are they saying that anything, any technique or any action, which benefits the liberals, is ok when done, but Republicans aren’t allowed to do so when the GOP is in charge????

Tim Kaine said before the election that the Democrats would use the nuclear option if necessary to confirm Hillary’s choices for the Supreme Court. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

The fear that setting the precedent on Scotus will allow the libs to use it is silly. Does anyone believe they won’t use it if they regain the senate?

Reid nuked the filibuster as a good servant of the Liberal Messiah without any regard to what harm it could inflict on the Senate Democrats in the future. Welcome to the future, Senate Democrats. Thanks Harry!
