“I would like to meet that idiot, I’d like to meet the numskull that would say that,” he told reporters. “That after 200 years, at least 100 years of this tradition, where the Senate has functioned pretty well, they think it would be a good idea to blow it up.”

McCain said changing the rules would be a “body blow to the institution,” adding he thinks it puts them on a slippery slope.

McCain said he’s had numerous conversations with members on both sides of the aisle in an attempt to strike an agreement on the matter.

I have to leave FR for a few hours. McCain calling someone a “stupid idiot” is just too much.

I am not sure Gorsuch is not David Souter reincarnated. If the Dems lie on the tracks to block him for purely partisan reasons, there can never be an agreement with them. Even the ABA said yes to him.
Nuke them and it is their loss.

Very close to my thoughts. I don’t know if it is good or bad for the senate, but it’s necessary. The only reason the rats didn’t blow it up is because the republics never challenged them by attempting to filibuster.

Republicans are weak. They are going to promise not to invoke the. Unclear option on future Supreme Court justices spto get Gorsuch through. They probably k ow Gorsuch is a squish and that’s why they are ok not asking Trump for another nominee. Republicans will blink first

I’m going to piss on your grave, John.

Just like Ted Kennedy.

It’s on my bucket list.

McCain is up to his eyeballs in ‘leakgate’ and I can’t wait to see the nasty little piece of sh*t and his girlfriend Lindsay hauled off in cuffs. I despise him more that I can say.

I agree that the “nuclear option” is bad for the Senate. I favor unlimited debate with a 67-vote threshold for cloture.

I also favor appointment of Senators by the States and confirmation of qualified appointees without insisting that they favor killing babies or perverse intercourse. So, what I favor is very unlikely to come to pass.

I think a 51-vote Senate with Senators chosen by popular elections is a second House of Representatives, is completely superfluous, and I favor abolishing it.

Anyone claiming McCain is good for the Senate is a stupid idiot — or another lobbyist-owned legislator like he is.

“... Assuming that he entered the Hanoi Hilton a decent,honorable man ...”

Quite an assumption. Fortunately, the USN had plenty of spare planes for him to crash ... and that his stay on the top floor of the Hanoi Hilton was far more comfortable that the Tiger Pits others endured ... the comfort woman was just the top floor live-in cleaning lady ...

But his owners want him to keep the “R” behind his name.
