Schumer will bring the filibuster threat right up to the edge, perhaps even start one, then suggest a “deal” with the turtle.
The deal will be, we (dems) won’t filibuster if you agree not to use the nuke option on the next justice.
Will the turtle stupidly go for it?
How about something really simple. Something along the lines of Schuck You Fumer. Elections have consequences.
Oh, RIGHT, Schumer! I’m sure everyone would be on the same page on that. /s
Yet another ludicrous attack on the GOP leadership. The days of surrender are over.
The “next one” is what has the Ds hopelessly worried. They fear that dear Ruth may move on to her eternal reward and be replaced by a Trump nominee. I’d love it, especially since Ruth very inappropriately spoke out against our president.
If you are good we might let you help chose the next one.
“The deal” will be on Ginsbergs replacement and Trump will go with it.
He could always promise not to nuke it, but then remove the two-track rule for the next nominee, so that Schmucky would have to stand in the well of the Senate rapping to the beat to stop Trump’s next nominee. Will Americans stand for such a thing? Who knows?
Well Schmuckster, we won, you lost, get over it.
Remember, Schumer and 10 other SITTING Dems confirmed Gorsuch a few years back.
Tidbit...Scalia was confirmed 98-0.
