and now the Senate will revoke the filibuster for the Supreme Court nomination.

Your post made me think this had happened but at this point it’s not even clear if the Dems will force it, let alone if the the Repubs will follow through with it.

Sorry if that was unclear, but I think it’s almost a certainty. Trump has endorsed they do this, giving them any justification they need. Seeing as they essentially did the same thing in the less-formal committee, I don’t see why they wouldn’t go through with it in the Senate if they could.

Trump Says ‘Go Nuclear’ as Democrats Gird for Gorsuch Fight
President Trump, seeming to relish a fight with Democrats over his nominee to the Supreme Court, encouraged the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, on Wednesday to invoke the so-called nuclear option and abandon the 60-vote threshold for confirmation.

“If we end up with that gridlock, I would say, ‘If you can, Mitch, go nuclear,’” the president said.

Democrats are weighing strategies for opposing the nomination of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch and debating how aggressively to pursue a battle over a seat that many of them believe was stolen from their party.

well for thing, it might bite them in the butt if the Dems gain a majority in the Senate. Think about what would have happened under Obama if the Republicans couldn’t filibuster.

If they do get rid of the filibuster, I it is time for all out war(not violent or the illegal kind). The Dems should block/disrupt/refuse to cooperate/fight the GOP in every way shape and form possible at all levels of government. This includes state and local level. They should also look into a possible constitutional convention. This pisses me off. After all the filibustering the GOP did during the Obama years and now they have the nerve to get rid of it now that the shoe is on the other foot.

The Democrats are not doing well, they didn’t show up to the hearings for Trump’s nominees so the committee rules were suspended to allow them to continue without the party, and now the Senate will revoke the filibuster for the Supreme Court nomination.

If Dems continue to be a no-show, we’ll effectively end up in a one-party system fast.

I just remember Dominic saying that it was only the Republican’s who were making it all about “sides” and I did not agree. I certainly don’t relish being right at least some of the time but it’s been more than obvious that it is happening. People fear change but change is here and we either go down complaining or we find a way to make it positive for everyone as best we can.

Why do I even bother

We also both did agree that it should not be this way but it is. And you’re not like Frink so don’t let him drag you down. 😉

back door insult.

So I could have made the post a couple of pages ago that Jetrell complained about if I had just added a winky?

He also threatened to send the military into Mexico to deal with “bad hombres” if Mexico didn’t.

How is that any different than the Republicans doing this now?

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/14/us/politics/obama-supreme-court-merrick-garland.html?_r=0

Not to mention that Obama deliberately picked a centrist and Republicans threw a year-long hissy fit about it, and are now pissed because Democrats are pissed about an extreme conservative pick from Trump after throwing a year-long hissy fit about Obama’s centrist pick.

You asked “How is that any different than the Republicans doing this now?” That’s the difference.

Interesting article indeed.
