Senate Dimrats Vow to Filibuster Trumps SCOTUS Pick Without Knowing Who It Is

[toomuchtime_]

the left cant stop anything, Trump will just go with 51 votes

That's counting Juan McCain and Goober Graham

Very good, Frank, and there are four others than will join them in "no" to a Scalia-type nomination.

You can't replace Scalia with a Scalia???

Right, and the Republicans will never nominate Trump.

In Starkey's world Republicans will only vote for another Ginsburg.

She's a moderate in Jake's world

These are strange times for sure, tmt, but the last ten days have shown Trump is starting to slip already.

If McConnell can get his five votes, he will be OK. But if anybody thinks with that herd of cats in the GOP corral that it is certain, then person does not think well.

Trump may lead with the less contentious of the two leading candidates.

We will see.

Good night, and have the last word. For now.

Republican Senators will all fall in line behind Trump's nominee

If Trump is slipping I will take more please.
I'm a never Trumper and I can't stop giggling from joy.

Yes, it is.

Can't do that for SC nominee.
Republican will need 8 Dems to get to 60. It won't happen.

Ever hear of the Nuclear Option? Chuck "Fake Tears" Schumer and "Dingy" Harry Reid are the fathers.

BS. Senate leader makes the rules to whatever he wants them to be.

THANK YOU HARRY REID.

Opinion | Trump should go nuclear on his Supreme Court nominee

Trump supports ‘nuclear option’ to get his Supreme Court nominees approved, after Democrats used it for Obama’s court picks

The nuclear option only applies to lower court picks, dope.
The rules don't allow it for SC picks. The rule making period in the Senate has passed.

Wrong!

Rules can be changed anytime.

Rules schmools. All is needed is one Senator to raise a point of order, then the leader of the Senate says filibuster is over.

Mucho gracias amigo Harry Reid.

Not true.

• Senator McConnell (the majority leader) would propose proceeding on a vote to confirm the nominee.

• The presiding officer (one of the Republican senators, serving as president pro-tem) would rule that he is out of order as 60 votes are required for cloture.

• Senator McConnell would then appeal his ruling. An appeal of a ruling of the presiding officer is voted on without debate and by simple majority.

• The 52 Republican senators would vote to overturn the ruling of the presiding officer, and then vote to confirm the justice.

GOD BLESS HARRY REID

The rules don't allow for such a motion for a vote on a SC nominee.

The rule change period has passed.

Wrong!

Try again!

Why won't you tell us who told you this?

WEATHERMAN: Who told you that? Kos?

You need to go to Costco now for that 5 gallon drum of Preparation H. You're in for major butt hurt over the next 4 years.

Preparation H? Hell, he'll need a 55 gallon drum of KY jelly!

They knew Obama would nominate a liberal and he did. No vote required as it was a waste of time.

GOOD. Obama put on a silver platter who REPUBLICANS wanted, Merrick Garland, and they decided to put on their typical dog & pony show, and demanded to wait until after the election. Personally I hope Comrade Trump nominates one of his liberal court buddies from New York City.

Rules regarding the majority required for cloture are set at the beginning of a new Congress. Without an official rules change, any motion for a simple majority vote on a rule change can itself be filibustered thereby requiring 60 votes. It's not as easy as you all believe.
