Don’t the Senators realize that there was an election and the people SPOKE...that they wanted a conservative Justice.

The Dems don't care what the people say or how much they alienate them. They burn Americans cars, pepper spray them and call them all kinds of Nasty names. They are way past caring about how they appear (which is really nasty).

John McCain waxing on about Gorsuch being qualified but “traditions of the Senate” in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. . .

Another great day ahead their lil Johnny McCain. Backs to stab, New York Times editorials praising you to bask in the glory of. Life is good when you are self-centered jerk.

This is GREAT!

I can’t believe Dems are so stupid as to fight this battle now.

This leaves them unarmed for the coming Kennedy retirement in June and the Ginsberg retirement later this year.

Of course, no telling what God has in mind, but that’s never a factor in liberal calculus.

Yeah ... just like they had enough votes to beat Trump. They even believe their own lies.

The dems already employed the option to only require a simple majority so why is anyone even talking about this? The rules changed when the democrat fascists changed them so let them live with their own rules.

Well, good for them. Now it's time for the Republicans to grow a spine and scrap the bogus filibuster option.

It's hardball time. The sooner Democrats start catching fastballs with their faces, the better off the country will be.

Amen to that. The Dems have no faithfulness to the law as written unless it brings them more power and especially more Illegals votes (which is also against the law).

41 Senators can prevent a vote from being taken. So they would not only oppose Goresuch but want to continue to debate forever.

Great news.

Let them do it for about two weeks. Everybody will be sick of it by then.

Then, give them the ultimatum and let THEM decide.

WIN. WIN.

It doesn’t matter if they have 41 votes to keep debate open.

What matters is how long can they debate?
