Time for GOP to stop trying to play nice with the D,s. They’re deranged anyway. Just vote him in and get it over with. 51 votes is just FINE!

A conservative upholds the law, including the supreme law of the land, the constitution.

That's exactly right, according to my understanding. The Supreme Court is an inherently conservative component of the Federal Government, by conception. The Left was on the verge of converting it into a ruling council, dispensing Law according to arbitrary tenents.

Time to put a mushroom cloud over the Democrats on Thursday. These people don’t give a damn about anything but getting their power back. OK Mitch. Time to do something right for a change. You got your finger on the nuclear option so use it.

there will be no filabuster because the constitution only requires a majority vote

unless, of course, the GOPe plays the DNC/SorozNazi game AS USUAL in so many things....and permits them to filabuster

in which event, we desperately need to vote the GOPe OUT!
they are wolves in sheeps’ clothing, the Enemy Within, and its totally and completely UNACCEPTABLE

Just watched Judge Napolitano on Stewart Varney’s show on DVR.

Judge Napolitano said Gorsuch will probably be sworn in Friday afternoon/eve, sign documents and immediately have the full authority of an associate Justice of SCOTUS!

When this happens we should all once again thank God that Trump defeated the dreaded hildabest.

I have not been much for Mitch’s leadership, but he did get this ONE huge issue right and blocked Obie’s supreme!

Let ‘em bring it on, but according to the old rules for fillibusters. No breaks. If you have to take a coffee break, you’ve yielded. If you have to go wee wee, you’ve yielded.

The sharp partisan divide was on display during the committee's markup session.

Just employ the "nuclear" option and confirm Gorsuch.

The Democrats have been unmasked for their left wing conspiracy to turn the USA into a totalitarian regime. We must purge the government of these nasty, bigoted people.

Otherwise we are just wasting time and tax dollars.

... in other News the wobbly senators from Arizona & South Carolina are openly stating their support for repealing the senate filibuster rule. The LA Times should be preparing their readers for the inevitability of Justice Gorsuch.

When you turn the Supreme Court into a para-legislative branch, this is the kind of tooth-and-nail fighting you’re gonna get. Sad but true.

Coons is only there because Christine O’Donnell was scrood over by the GOPe.

Delaware is a moderate state and O'Donnell was a horrible candidate.

Rep. Mike Castle would have easily beat Chris Coons in the general.

Great example of conservatives snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Forget the Gorsuch vote.

Haul in John Podesta and his email buddy Steve Elmendorf and start extensive questioning on what they mean regarding “networks in the vineyard.”

Dig up Scalia’s body and do an autopsy.

Etc etc etc.... until the Dems agree that approving Gorsuch would be better than going through this.

Wasn’t Scalia cremated?

Oh, Lawd, I think you are right about that.

My point is, make the Democrats squirm. Call up Chelsea and probe what she meant when she said “Now that Scalia is out the way, we can get gun control.”

I will never believe that Scalia wasn’t taken out.

Mike Castle was a Democrat in an R jersey.
We have enough of them in the Senate.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, McCain, Murkowsky and Rubio all voted for the Gang of Amnesty, why would you want to give them another vote?
