BOOM! Thanks dems! I truly appreciate it!

[Crixus]

Why ? Not like it ain't been done before and it worked out just fine for Dirty Harry.

Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; Senate eliminates most nominee filibusters in party-line vote
Republicans filibustered many many OPEN Judicial seat nominations for OVER 3 + YEARS just to obstruct and hurt Obama's presidency, leaving the seats empty and judges short handed in all districts for years....so Reid blew his top and said, enough is enough....was it a mistake...seems like it.

"Senate Democrats took the dramatic step Thursday of eliminating filibusters for most nominations by presidents, a power play they said was necessary to fix a broken system but one that Republicans said will only rupture it further."

Hmmm.

May have been a mistake. But it cut right through all the politics and got shit done weather you l or whomever liked it or not. It was done and it will again until it becomes the new norm. This really cuts both ways for both parties.

oh, if McConnell gets rid of it for the lifetime appointees to the Supreme Court, it's gone forever for advise and consent positions, ALL OF THEM...

AND that's not good and makes everything less fair for Americans on the whole and MORE PARTISAN....and makes Senators weaker, just like the partisan house of representatives....

The filibuster/extended debate, was suppose to prevent that...by saying nominees to represent our Nation, should at least have a handful of the minority party supporting them.

Ridding the filibuster simply means the Minority will never have a voice...the Senate has never been that way....it prevented a simple majority shoving crap down the minority's throat.

R's will REGRET THIS SOME DAY!

That's what McConnell told the democrats when they changed the rules. lol


A little over three years ago, Senator Mitch McConnell stood on the Senate floor and issued a warning to the Democrats who then controlled the majority.

“I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, you’ll regret this,” McConnell, then the minority leader, told them. “And you may regret it a lot sooner than you think.”

Whelp..... they were warned.

Agreed, Mr. Harry set this in motion. But the big question is, when does the tit for tat end? or is it just going to continue to snowball?

Snowball probably.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Phuck the DemNazis.

They went to war against The American People the second Obama got in to office.

They always pull this shit!

They never play by the rules, and if the rules don't suit them, they cheat and change them.

Then when they are out of power, they whine and scold, and threaten you for daring to use The RULES THEY CREATED!

Phuck them all to Hell!

You got that one completely wrong as well... The American people overwhelmingly voted Obama in as president

They made a mistake. Twice. 50 years of crap education can do that.

Great argument man!

The record of history with the results of events usually is.

History shows that power shifts from left to right like a pendulum... Your logic would conclude that pretty much every election was a mistake.

We have been in a unique situation since the McGovern run in 1972.

 

[2aguy]

R's will regret it if they use the nuclear option...

Shrug. Possibly.

In the meantime they should steamroll everything they've ever wanted right through Congress, and tie up the Senate rules with such convolutions the Dems would be paralyzed should they regain the majority.

I really don't know what they're waiting for.

The republican member of the democrat party....john McCain.......there is word he may be trying to throw away the filibuster in a side deal.....the one where the democrats let gorsuch through...but still get to filibuster the next ones.....

McCain is such an asshole.......

 

[2aguy]

I Want The Dems To Fillibuster!

Add that to the Pile Of Shit they stepped in to over Creating a False Russian Narrative, and Obama's Surveillance of Trump and it's going to be a blood bath in 2018!

Hey genius, the FBI has been investigating the Russian Interference since July. Its a real thing, not something made up by the Dems, and it has been acknowledged by EVERYBODY in the know, including Trump himself. It also has nothing to do with the SCOTUS vote.

It has been acknowledged by everyone in the know that there is no evidence.....

And with the Rice disclosures today......the Russia story is going to go away...the democrats in the press will want to hide it now....

Why, specifically?

 

[edward37]

tree you're not only rudderless but you have a mad captain leading you

tree I must say I can't agree with much you say here but at least you have a sense of humor ,,,a quality lacking in most of your repub ilk

What's unique is you have four decades-plus of history to catch up on. Better get started.

Let's state the facts of that then, since you want to conveniently change the subject.

What do the Dem's claim is Evidence of Russian Interference in our Election?

"Trolls Posting on USMB, Facebook, & Twitter!"

OMG!

Pull THE PLUG ON USMB right NOW! It is a threat to NATIONAL SECURITY!

Quick, Call Homeland Security, The National Guard, Your Mother!

The Dems are Phucking morons who are on their 3rd party head to run that cesspool in just 9 months.

They deserve the ass beating they got in the election.
They deserve the ass beating they are getting now.
They deserve the ass beating they are going to get in 2018.

51 members of a body of only 100 is far more substantial than you realize.

If you truly believe 51 Senators honestly are going to choose anyone their party leadership picks, then you might as well leave the country, because it is going down, hard.

You would think it would be that way but NOT when 52 R members are "Lock Steppers" with their Party....

Ever hear the old saying 'choose your battles wisely'?

The democrats chose one they shouldn't have, and for all the wrong reasons. It was just another big mistake that'll come back to bite them in the ass.

Gorsuch is just a very good pick.

Try Alex Jones next time and see for yourself the 0 votes he gets in the committee.

The investigation is on going, which means we haven't seen all the evidence. All we have are the statements from those who have seen the evidence. Trumps reluctantly agreed that Russia interfered after he got the intel. That should convince you that it's legit

You are being short sighted... What do you think happens after the Dems regain the power position? Its petty tit for tat and what the Reps are doing now is simply continuing to give reason for the dems to do it right back to them.
