Senate Republicans trigger 'nuclear option,' changing rules to speed up Trump nominees

[Crepitus]

So they have been busy while everyone is distracted.

They can now approve nominees in a block rather than voting on them individually.

That means no-one is vetting these folks.

Senate Republicans trigger 'nuclear option,' changing rules to speed up Trump nominees

The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable it to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.

The Democrats have been shooting at Republicans, its important move these things along and not let their delay tactics like the liberal attack in Orem this week, and delay getting the administration in office.

Not @ all, it's just an expedient way of bumping & dumping the statist lefties so pres. Trump can get with the program that much faster. It's no different than when pres. Trump silenced the fed District Court Justices, like now ya see 'em, now ya don't!!!

Republicans need help seating constitutionists in order to counterbalance all the Marxists appointed by Obama and Biden. Democrat judges are destroying this country.

Good, we need to get right-leaners into the fed courts as quickly as possible.

About ******* time. The sooner we clear out your scum from government, the better.

 

[Polishprince]

President Trump needs to get as many of these lesser judges approved ASAP.

My guess is that Justice Alito and Justice Thomas will soon decide to hang up their robes and the sex allegations against the replacement justices are going to be interesting and taking up a lot of time in the Senate.

I'm sure the tales will be lurid, and they already have the accusing dames in training.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know.

It worked out okay for us.

Now they have to worry about left-wing terrorists assassinating them.

I'm sure some left-wing Antifa nut balls are hatching a plan as we speak.

Thanks Harry Reid.

If you look back you will see that I am on record as calling reid an idiot when he did it.

Too late. He was warned not to do it. His excuse was Republicans are a bunch of obstructionists. The GOP is returning the favor.
