Senate Democrats to filibuster Trump SCOTUS nominee regardless of who it is

Senate Democrats are going to try to bring down President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick no matter who the president chooses to the fill the current vacancy.
With Trump prepared to announce his nominee on Tuesday evening, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said in an interview on Monday morning that he will filibuster any pick that is not Merrick Garland and that the vast majority of his caucus will oppose Trump’s nomination. That means Trump's nominee will need 60 votes to be confirmed by the Senate.

well the republicans did it to them so it's only fair. As much as I hate to say that.

Make them do an actual filibuster, not this "60 votes to invoke cloture" horseshite.

All in a day's work.

Not unexpected
They have to in order to show some form of strength to their base
In the end it won't make a hill of beans...repubs have the numbers

Easy for him to say. Let's see if he keeps Joe Manchin and the rest of the red state senators up for reelection on board.

If Trump wants a win, he needs to send out a sacrificial lamb

Mitch McConnell said Trump will get his nominees through confirmation either the easy way or the hard way, but they will be confirmed.

I suggest that we follow Harry Reid's blueprint and change the Senate rules.
I know the press will slam our side, but we didn't start this war they did.

Playing by the Republican playbook I guess. Sucked when they did it. Sucks now.
However, if you didn't have a problem with Garland's handling then you are a complete hypocrite now.
