Mitch McConnell: Democrats Want to Disregard Senate Rules

[RedDuke]

Only because they had no such nominee at a time when they held both the senate and congress. If they had, they would have changed the rules then. Don't kid yourself. I'm not excusing the behavior at all, but don't claim the Democrats had "vision". They didn't. They simply didn't have "opportunity".

You could be totally correct.

Thank Harry Reid for this, he opened the door. Now the left feigns outrage. Fuck'em, and fuck rules that you can't find anyone on the left will obey. It's a new day. Screw negotiations. Unconditional surrender or die is the only offer. Bury the political minority while you can. Inflict as much damage as possible. Scorched earth from this day forward.

Like I said, very sad day for our country.

you are exciting the out of the mainstream nut cases and alienating the swing voters.
who do you think elected trump in the mid west.. people who wanted leftist judges?

and stop playing games... Reid did use the Nuclear option on judges. If he did not use it on sup ct justices its because republicans respect tradition more and are paid to roll over.

you watch... if another judge comes up... the gang of fakes led by McCain will be against using the option and will side with democrats.

1.Reid didn't do it,even though most democrat voters wanted him to.

2.The good news is Democrat Senators are exciting their base by doing what we wanted them to do so next time millions of democrat voters wont be staying home

There is not much outcry from democrat voters,we wanted our Senators to stand untied against Gorsuch knowing it was a possibility and hoping Mitch would end the filibuster.The only outcry from the left when Reid changed the rules was that he did not go far enough,we wanted him to end the filibuster for legislation and SC nominations too.

ROFL, claim victory in defeat, the new DNC stratagem.

We were going to get a far right wing judge at some point during Trumps term.We couldn't stop it but we are glad we got something we've wanted for years out of it.

Well stop being a hypocrite an acting like McConnell is performing some untenable act. Jem is correct, the only reason Reid hadn't gone nuclear on SCOTUS, he never had the opportunity.

I didn't say he performed an untenable act.I pointed out his hypocrisy of writing op eds against changing Senate rules but now he is doing it.

You are right,Reid might have done it.I wish he would have ended all filibusters in Obamas first term.
