Democrats Who Support Neil Gorsuch Will Pay A Price, Progressive Groups Warn

[dcbl]

let's review what is going to happen (or what is most likely to happen)

there are 52 Republican Senators & 46 Democrats - Dems actually have 48 votes because the 2 Independents caucus with them

Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia is a guy that might as well be a Republican, in fact, rumors are still swirling that he will switch parties

so, taking Joe out of the equation, there are 9 Democrat Senators up for reelection in 2018 that live in "Trump states"

for Gorsuch to get the 60 votes he needs for a vote, 7 of those have to vote to end a filibuster - this is going to happen & there will be a confirmation vote

MOST of those Dems in Trump states will either vote against Gorsuch or simply abstain from voting

this will give them "political cover" from both sides (and as Jake pointed out, the fallout over Gorsuch won't be overwhelming because he is not particularly pernicious to the left)

anything outside of this scenario is highly unlikely

you heard it here 1st (or some of you did, many of you already knew this)

Gorsuch does not need any DEM's to support him so they might as well all vote universally NO in the Senate and make it politically obvious.

Gorsuch has every GOP senator behind him already.

That is not the point.

Sure it is, don’t be so daft.

No, it isn't.

So what we don't need the shitscum, If they don't support him they will pay the price in spades and dirt.

Fairly sure it needs 60 votes for a SCOTUS justice

NOPE they can do it for all appointees, and then change the rules to make sure the dimshits cant use it again unless it is approved by all members of the Senate..
