Schumer Tries To Blame McConnell For 'Train Wreck' Harry Reid Caused

[easyt65]

Schumer Takes Questions From Press On Trump’s Supreme Court Pick — Gets Rekt On First Question

"The first question asked by a reporter was incredible: “What about the fact that Harry Reid is the one who started the nuclear option, so now you’re faced with the nuclear option instead of the 60-vote [option]?”

Reid famously passed filibuster reform early in Obama’s second term, lowering the threshold to break a filibuster on the Senate floor from 60 to 51. This will make confirmation of Kavanaugh much easier for the slim GOP majority in the Senate.

Schumer blamed Leader McConnell for the controversial move.”Mitch McConnell blocked judge after judge after judge on the courts. Then, leader Reid had no choice. When we passed the law, we said Supreme Court should be different,” Schumer said. “Then Mitch McConnell changed that. And then to boot, he wouldn’t let Merrick Garland have a hearing. Mitch McConnell has had as his goal to create a hard right Supreme Court and nothing has stopped him.”

McConnell famously warned Democrats when passing the nuclear option, “You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.”

Schumer/Reid now be like....

Everyone knew the 60 vote threshold on Supreme Court nominees would be the next to go after Reid used the nuclear option in 2013 it was just a question of who would be in charge when it happened. The Democrats got bitten in the ass when they used it one day lowering that vote from 60 to a simple majority for the Supreme Court will do the same to the Republicans.

After getting their picks through, couldn't the Republicans just raise the vote requirement again? That would be funny if they could.

Yep.

All this has done is contribute to our divisions.

Just like with gerrymandering, the liberals had a 75 year head start/ Monopoly on it, then when the Republicans caught on and started to play the same game....the libtards now cry like little girls.

It couldn't have played out any better. Mitch tried to warn them.

I don’t know but it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried.

 

[MACAULAY]

Cocksuckers like Shumer can say anything they like....outrageous spin or outright lie.

Then the Democratic Party-Controlled New York Media reports it like it was Moses delivering the Ten Commandments.

Then Democratic Dumb-Asses---educated mostly in Rotting Cities of the North run but Democrats for half a century---immediately BELIEVE every word.

It works like a charm---for the Dumb-Asses in the Rotting Cities.

But the rest of America is waking up to the Bullshit.

So can the 60 vote process be put back in place or is it gone forever?

They could, but you only need 51 votes to change a Senate rule.

How about we reinstate it in about 6 years?

It would take 5 minutes to remove it again.

I don't know but in every other place the majority rules, especially the SCOTUS. I never did care for the 2/3 rule.
