GOP Begins ‘Nuclear Option’ Rule Change to Advance Gorsuch Nomination

GOP Begins ‘Nuclear Option’ Rule Change to Advance Gorsuch Nomination. We prefer it to be called the Harry Reid Option. Regardless, there’s no reason to deny Gorsuch other than the Democrats are butthurt about Merrick Garland not being confirmed.

  • So many liberal panties are twisting in a knot as we watch...Should have done shit like this years ago, use their tactics against them.

  • Well... is it preferable for things to be done "the right way"? Yes...

    When manure hits the fan and people want to act all stupid for no real reason (Garland was ok fine, but why should Obama be allowed a THIRD bite at the apple within a year of leaving? That is unprecedented) then one has to do the strategies that were done in the past to get the job done. Is what good for the goose also good for the gander? Yes...

    It is what it is...

    You can't use backhanded strategies on someone and then expect the person to not use them on you. That is hypocrisy.

  • I am surprised that the Republicans had the balls to go through with it. Congrats to them. Of course it will suck if the GOP loses the Senate and another dimtard becomes President. But until that day I am Ronald McDonald and lovin' it.

    • Republicans never resisted leftwing retards who were nominated for the Supreme Court anyway, so no harm done. Look at Ginsburg: straight from the American communist party and a job at the ACLU. How could there be anybody worse than that?

        • True. And Kagan is dumb as a rock which also isn't good. They say her appearances in court as Solicitor General were downright embarrassing. She'd never practiced law in her life, having spent her entire career in academia where stupidity is not a handicap. Now she's deciding the fate of our Constitution. One thing about Obama, he sure could pick 'em.

          • Sotomayor I understood...

            I NEVER will understand Kagan. That was a "I'm going to set up my homie Kagan for life, because she is awesome" appointment. Why is she awesome? The hell did she do to or for Obama (or an Obama supporter) that was so great that she had to get this? Do I even want to know? It had nothing to do with her actual qualifications and the Republicans didn't really put up a fight (I guess they couldn't).

  • For once droopy actually manned up and told Chuck U Schumer to go to hell. Now chuckie is crying about the rules changes. Damn chuckles that shoe must really hurt now that its on the other foot. Wait until one of the numbskulls from the left side of the court retire or expire. It'll be time for popcorn beer and a comfortable chair. It will be a show.

    • The Clusterschmuck is the 1 Senator who took what Biden & that drunken sot Kennedy did with Bork, & amplified by 10. He was the 1 who promoted obstruction at all cost for judges picked by republicans. Including filibustering nominees. So the GOP leadership used Harry Reid's tactics against the Dems. Good, I say ram it down, & shove it up.
