Judge Gorsuch's Path to 60 Votes 'Closing Fast'

[Sarge]

Until it actually happens, I will remain convinced that Republicans will compromise and cave in to Democrats to find a different candidate. Giving in to Democrats. It is what they do.

 

[Spike]

Dems caving???

hahahahaha

Can't wait to see Schumer and Pelosi' s faces

NOW ‘Chuckie’ Schumer wants to make a deal on SCOTUS; hilarity ensues on Twitter!

After months of attempting to obstruct everything President Trump has tried to do, including an ongoing filibuster of the Judge Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer might be ready to make a “deal.”

Schumer: "We lost one [Garland] they lost one [Gorsuch] We should now get in a room and come up with a compromise to avoid the nuclear option"

Vote begins TODAY

Sorry Chuck! The GOP didn't lose anything. Gorsuch should be and will be our next justice come tomorrow night. The Dems ****** this one up. Let's hope Trump gets to appoint another and hopefully it is one of the justices that like to change the constitution and make laws and rules from the bench. The constitution is black and white. The law if black and white. If you can't rule based on that, then you have no reason even being considered.

At 11:00 a.m, the Senate will VOTE on cloture for Exec. Cal. #33, Neil Gorsuch, of Colorado, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Looks like we are looking at 3 votes:

1) Cloture vote (60 votes needed) - won't pass

2) Vote to change rules (51 votes needed) (nuke!}

3) Cloture vote (51 votes needed) (sign him up!)

Its on!


Democrats block Gorsuch consideration, paving way for Senate rules change

Democrats successfully blocked Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court from advancing in the U.S. Senate on Thursday, sparking what is expected to be a bitter clash with Republicans over how the chamber confirms high court nominees.

Gorsuch failed to earn the 60 votes needed to end debate on his nomination. In response, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has vowed he will change Senate rules in order to confirm Gorsuch and all future Supreme Court nominees with a simple majority vote

Let them use up their time, Gorsch will get in. Meanwhile Trump can focus on other issues.

 

[Spike]

Gorsch will get in

and then maybe two more justices of our choosing after that, that only require a simple majority!

Thanks Harry!

Boom! There it goes. The Bomb has dropped and exploded as are Democratic heads.

KABOOM!

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

Republicans succeeded in making the change on a party-line vote Thursday afternoon. The body then swiftly took another, 55-45 vote to end debate and tee up a final confirmation vote expected late Friday.

Congratulations to Justice Gorsuch. **** Schumer, Reid, and Pelosi. **** Obama.

Got into it mildly with a Democrat on the Facebook page of my gay Republican friend (see other post). He's acting like Goreuch is the end of the world and I'm like "I guess your party should win some elections then." Yinz know how I can be.

With Gorsuch Gambit, Democrats Claim The Stupid Party Label

Supreme Court: Trump derangement syndrome claimed its first victim today, when Senate Democrats decided to filibuster the appointment of the supremely qualified Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, and ended up handing Trump and the GOP the opportunity to dramatically shift the ideological balance on the court.

As promised, Republicans responded to the Democrats' filibuster by changing Senate rules and eliminating the ability of the minority to filibuster this and future Supreme Court appointments.

On the conservative side, Gorsuch will get his seat on the court — which was a foregone conclusion once Trump appointed him — and the ideological balance will, at best, remain the same (and could, given the history of court appointments, easily drift leftward.)

What did the Democrats gain for their intransigence? Absolutely nothing.

Not only did they fail to block Gorsuch — and made themselves look petty and vindictive while attempting to do so — they gave up the only leverage they had for the next Supreme Court battle, which is likely to be over a seat now occupied by one of the liberals on the court.
