Republicans invoke Nuclear Option to help get Gorsuch confirmed

[Arjuna]

Hows it feel now Chucky?

“The nuclear option means the end of a long history of consensus on Supreme Court nominations,” griped Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.

In a last-ditch effort to avoid going nuclear, Schumer put forward a motion to postpone the nomination vote to April 24 — after the two-week Easter recess — to allow both sides and Trump to chart a path forward. That vote failed 48-52 in a party-line division.

“In a post-nuclear world, if the Senate and the presidency are in the hands of the same party, there’s no incentive to even speak to the Senate minority,” Schumer said. “That’s a recipe for more conflict and bad blood between the parties, not less.”

[togmaster]

Bombs away. Just get the job done.

 

[MilesTeg]

One down two to go!

 

[Podmonkey]

Fuck you Schumer, it's your party's obstructionist attitude that caused this. Gorsuch is a well qualified candidate that was well respected by democrats prior to the election. Fuck all democrats.

So saith the @GOPerfect.

BINGO!

Before today's Democrat filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee there had been ZERO filibusters of Supreme Court nominees. So...Schmuckster...who forced this rule change? Hmmmm......

 

[stuck in ny]

I bet the libtards and rino's are having a breakdown right now.

 

[capitalcrew]

Ayyyyy see ya later!

 

[Podmonkey]

We need those other picks ASAP!

 

[masterswimmer]

I didn't think they'd have the cajones to actually execute the initial threat. Bout time they grew a set.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

You know damn well if the shoe was on the other foot the progressives would have rammed it through on us.

Tit for tat. Its about time our side grows a pair and starts giving it back.

To paraphrase a FORMER president, "it's our turn to drive now, you can go for a ride in the back seat".

 

[MikeyCNY]

Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite them, but the Demoncrats really gave them no other options.. it is clear they will refuse to okay any Trump nominee.

I didn't think they'd do it either. I'm a bit suprised actually, though quite pleased.

 

[Phazer]

The long, long, game would suggest that things will eventually be reversed.

BUT, for now, this is our last best hope to restore constitutional originalists to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I can't believe they actually did it!

No shit, Bob!! McConnell grows a pair - he's going to need a new bunch of underwear.

And the best part is, when they're done they can change it back.

EF the DemonCraps coming and going.

 

[Defilade]

Suck it!!

 

[Celt]

Good, go f yourself Chuck.

 

[Criticalt]

Shumer is the one that said he would not suppport ANY judge that Trump nominated.
Just taking you at your word Chuck the Fuck.

Ginsburg will now never leave. Just to spite Trump and us pro-gunners. She drinks her witches brew every night to prolong her hideous life.

Her clock is ticking ever faster, we will see. Especially if Trump gets a second term.

The only way she'll leave is if she LEAVES.

Schumer is 2017 version of a suicide bomber

" In deploying the so-called nuclear option, lawmakers are fundamentally altering the way the Senate handles one of its most significant duties — a sign of the body’s creeping rancor in recent years after decades of at least relative bipartisanship on Supreme Court matters. Both parties have likewise warned of sweeping effects on the future of the court, predicting that the shift will lead to the elevation of more ideologically extreme judges if only a majority is required for confirmation. "
