Democrats Outraged
HaHaHaHa!!!!!!
Apparently “the man upstairs” had an October surprise of his own.
Quick question.. Can a sitting Senator vote to confirm themselves?
In fact they (the Democrats) did change the filibuster rule from 60 vote majority to simple majority
That’s it! Thanks!
But it is not 5-3. Roberts is a very wishy-washy conservative. Many think he is compromised by some information liberals have on him.
A 4-4 SC ruling on the election would lead to civil war.
Appointing a judge now actually DEFUSES the situation, like removing negotiation points for Middle East peace deals. Can’t get motivated to vote for the court pick if it is already filled.
This was the Hand of God.
Give a the nation a week for mourning purposes, make the pick, schedule a hearing, perform the necessary votes, numbers might be there. Thune better start “whipping” the crap out of members right now to vote the line on this matter.
But they can. Don’t show up. No Quorum
“But they can. Don’t show up. No Quorum”
It doesn’t work that way. If it did, no one could ever pass a bill. Majority would be meaningless.
