Why didn't the Senate Republicans force a real, full and complete filibuster?
It wouldn't have anything to do with real work, would it?

Why no filibuster, why no recess appointments, why no IRS audits on Jessie jackson, finally why do the so-called conservative pols never fight as the commies do? Reason, because it is not in their interests to do such by the various reasons I have stated over the years. You've been duped in this "Two-Party Cartel".

Uh yes it would have dougie. The Pubbies would need 50 people there while Schumer tiraded for days. At any time Schumer could ask for a vote and in a weak moment defeat the nomination.
A real filabuster would have been much easier for the demos, especially with the press coverage of the "noble" Schumer talking for days against the "mean" Republicans.
The fact still stands that the demos are the ones who threw out 200 years of Senate precedent, and yet you are frothing at the mouth towards the Pubbies, while you give Hillary and the demos a free pass.
