Republicans have taken the historic step of changing US Senate rules in order to ram through confirmation of President Trump's Supreme Court pick.

They invoked the "nuclear option" after Democrats used a tactic known as a filibuster for the first time in half a century to block the nominee.

Denver appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch is now set to be approved on Friday.
The move will leave Congress even more plagued by gridlock. Republican John McCain said: "Bad day for democracy."

At stakes is ideological control of the nation's highest court, which has the final say on some of the most controversial US legal issues, from gun control to abortion to workers' rights.

After falling five votes short on Thursday of the 60 needed to confirm Mr Gorsuch, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell retaliated by voting 52-48 along party lines to rewrite the rules.

"Hysteria" wouldn't begin to cover it, I suspect...

But what horrifies me the most is the deranged orange wreckage is on record as being an incompetent lying cunt – what rational would vote, nay, enable that…and that’s what I don’t understand

They'll be making excuses for agent orange adding a couple of amendments to the constitution next.

If your brain wasn't like jello you would have understood that the first time it was pointed out above

Leftists blaming Republicans for the plunge into sewer politics means nothing. What else do you expect? The law means nothing any more, protocol and rules mean nothing, we are at war now. The left refuses to respect elections, expects everyone to rally around patriotism and honesty after years of trashing such things in extreme ways...

Deficits are supposed to suddenly matter..

It's all gone. Massive hypocrisy reigns on the left from top to bottom, there is no respect for anything unless there are political points to be had

It is war that the left asks for, it is war that they shall have

Oh sorry retarded felchgobbler, Nelson Aldrich (nutsucker), see also your boy Tricky Dicky for that. Thence the several changes to filibustering by bi-partisan agreement led rules changes.

Thus the actual change to some filibuster rules in Reids time.

But nutsuckers have filibustered like pigs wallowing in shit for years and years, they just go about it in a different way than standing up and being men about it.

Get sacks you nutsuckers. It is just the dirty nutsuckers being dirty nutsuckers, same as usual.

Completely unlike the right, then.

You don't remember that this option was first used by the Dems to get their people on the court?

Their memories are extremely convenient. Trying to reason with leftists is fruitless, they only understand overwhelming force at this stage of the game

Just like the Dims pioneered the radical scorched-Earth policy to deny a president lame duck SC picks, it was also their idea to go nuclear on a whim

Gorsuch is already confirmed. Fuck Schumer's chickens

Harry Reid's chickens

Is comin' home

To roost





It's true.

Refusing to hold hearings was the bullshit that brought us to this episode.

Let the backfiring and consequences begin. And that won't be Reid's fault.

When it's your hand holding the knife, it's no only else who cut your throat.
