McTurtle set the precedent with the Gorsuch vote. Simple majority to confirm is no longer regarded as nuclear.

Hope Pres. Trump celebrates with a thick juicy steak like the one I enjoyed last night.

“Liberal heads exploding” will be an ongoing headline. Watch for more mob violence when DJT nominates.

Bingo! The Left is going to rue the day Harry Reid decided to scuttle judicial filibusters.

Collins and Murkowski aren’t likely to approve anyone who comes out solidly against abortion. He needs to nominate a strict constitutionalist, who possibly, has not adjudicated anything to do with abortion.

Republicans have only 51 senators. If any two of Flake, McCain, Murkowski, or Collins say No, then the nomination fails. I'm assuming the Dems will vote in lockstep.
