Shit, Granny Gindsburg is 85 or something. Beyer is 80-ish? The Dems are really fucking themselves here. And quite frankly, the rest of the nation too. But they don't give a shit. "RUSSIA!"

They think Gorsuch is conservative? Just wait for the next one. If he puts 2 more ultra conservatives on the court it could change the country as we know it rapidly unlike anything we've seen in decades and decades. I seriously cannot believe they are doing this. They just shot every ounce of political capital they had on SC nominee's. They really better hope it works out. It's a huge gamble.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 6, 2017 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) 52-48 just came in for filibuster.

Zambroski Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm really trying to figure out the Dems long term plan or goal now. I just don't see where this can be any type of "win" for them. Gorsuch fit their model MUCH BETTER than Scalia. What is the problem? I don't get it. Maybe they are just a bunch of whining, temper tantrum throwing crybabies. I'd really hoped that wasn't the case at the top...but........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can go back to their constituents for the mid-terms and say how hard they fought against the nomination; and then make a lot of noise about how the rules were changed and how that will lead to even more conservative nominations in the future. Then, with a swing of 3 seats, they will hold the majority and have more leverage to block future Trump nominees. It's all about politics before process and politics before country.

jtssrx Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The republicans can approve anything they want. Not sure why dick head Mitch McConnell restored the filibuster anyway. But its gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
