Schumer: Dems will demand 60 votes to confirm Gorsuch

[nat4900]

WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., made it clear Wednesday that Democrats will filibuster President Trump's Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch, saying it is important that the Colorado judge be "mainstream" enough to appeal to at least some Democrats and attract 60 votes.

Under Senate rules, the minority party has the power to insist on a procedural vote known as cloture that requires the approval of 60 senators to end debate and proceed to an up-or-down vote on a high court nominee. Republicans have 52 seats in the Senate.

I wish the DEMOCRATIC party had the guts to try to challenge points like this one.

It would be extremely entertaining.

Originally, the “nuclear option” was NOT to be applied for SC justices……

If McConnell wants to change that…GO FOR IT and see what happens….LOL

Since Trump "thinks" that all judges are crooked, it'll be hard to find decent folks who will want to be tainted with the "orange" stigma....LOL

McConnell and Boehner ensured there would not be any compromise or diplomacy for a long long long time.

I would say that Gorsuch is equal to Roberts not better or worse.

Just the same.

Another swing voter.

The DEM's should be glad. But they want paybacks instead.
