Gorsuch was elected by a nuclear option and now Kavanaugh will be

[eagle1462010]

That is illegal or should be. The first time a Supreme Court Justice was elected by maj vote. The Gop has quit following the age old rules.

Republicans go ‘nuclear,’ bust through Democratic filibuster on Gorsuch

Kavanaugh will replace Kennedy his mentor.

No big change.

Both Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are moderate and swing.

The Dem's should be glad.

These were both fair nominations to the far left. In fact the left won. Scalia was far right.

The DEM's are hypocrites.

Have you read Kavanaugh record. He believes the Potus is above reproach and above the law, and Cruz was wrong, he was not on any list until Trump knew he was in trouble.

Yawn............He did that while Billy Boy was in the hot seat.........and the Dems cheered him.........

Again........yawn.

And that was on indictments after getting out.......BTW

Reid and the dems triggered the nuclear option in 2013....where were the wails then?

This is just another hypocrite thread

I see that Penny is ignoring what Senator Reid did with Senate rules, that makes her a flaming hypocrite.

Funny to see that the planned (probably paid) protesters crashing the hearings and the leftists misbehaving in the chamber make clear they have no respect for the Confirmation hearing process.

From your link you didn't read:

"Indeed, McConnell’s predecessor as Senate majority leader Harry Reid, now retired, took the first step down the “nuclear” road by lowering the threshold for other nominees in 2013 – a controversial move Republicans frequently brought up on the road to Thursday’s proceedings."

Gee you that partisan, to be that stupid?

You make no case that it was illegal at all, neither does Chuck Schumer thinks it is illegal:

“It doesn’t have to be this way,” Schumer said. “The answer is not to change the rules, it’s to change the nominee.”

Well when Reid did it that was different somehow...or something or other

Wow, Democrats asked for time to review the tens of thousands of documents released last night.

Democrats asked why this is being rushed.

102 thousand pages of documents from his work are being withheld.

This is the first time documents of this kind have been withheld.

So what are Republicans hiding?

How long ago was Kavanaugh nominated?

There are plenty of information on his views available, Wikipedia

Snicker...……….

In all the "proceedings" yesterday not ONE democrat said a thing about his qualifications to judge and interpret law. Not one.

Of course not, because that would be a losing proposition for them. The LAST thing they want is a discussion of his actual merits to be a SC Justice. Quite frankly, I don't think they understand the Constitution well enough to ask semi-intelligent questions of him. Better from their perspective to rant and rave incoherently. At least that way they're pumping up their new base that demands such ranting and raving on a regular basis.

Thank you, Harry Reid!

The democrat Party is no longer interested in American civil society, they want one Party rule.

They thought they had it. That's what their hatred of Trump is all about.

World domination by POTUS Donald J. Trump...

R U Skert deanie?

Yup. All they needed was Garland on SCOTUS. No guns, no Freedoms, open borders. Soros gets to turn us into another festering EU Shit hole. Our JakeStarkey had his Hillary SS uniform and was gleefully talking about rounding up Americans for "Sedition" which was defined as just not voting Hillary

They were so so so close.

It took three months before the Democrats admitted that the guy was nominated. They refused to meet with him for three months. Senate Democrats to end boycott, plan to meet with Kavanaugh later this month

The old papers is just the next excuse. Here is the secret. If you want the papers you ask for them at the beginning of the process. Not three months later.

Filibusters should be illegal. Refusing to even allow a vote is undemocratic and cowardly. It was stupid and wrong when Republicans did it, it’s stupid and wrong when Democrats do it.

Do you not understand the difference between an "election" and the confirmation of a nomination?

Do some simple research before shooting off your yap.

Doesn't it suck that Harry Reid opened the door to this? Many said at the time that this would happen, and now it is.

This is just not true at all. Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed with just 52 votes. A majority of the Senate is and has been the Constitutional requirement.
