Chris coons supports filibuster. Nuclear option imminent

Thanks, Democrats

Thanks, Democrats.

Bunch of idiots had to go and create such a moronic rule change.

What the hell were y'all thinking?

His diatribe was so fraudulent. What a waste of air. Just say "you started it" and shut the frick up.

What were the Odds?

Dems are so f*cked once one of their liberal court judges croaks or retires and they use the nuclear option to get someone even more conservative than Gorsuch in there.

I'm indifferent in this, it was likely going to die during this administration either way and its probably not worth a hit to base enthusiasm to "keep the powder dry" given that McConnell would just kill it anyway.

Garland established the new rules. Basically, you can't confirm a Justice unless you have a partisan Senate Majority regardless of qualifications.

I doubt they kill the legislative filibuster though- its too useful to both minority members and majority members that need political cover on locally unpopular bills (they can abstain knowing the bill will die without having to take the risk of bucking their party)

The most laughable sound bite was Schumer bluffing with his busted hand turned over and also acting like it's his job to nominate justices. He actually said "let's work together to find a moderate, mainstream candidate" as if he has any say in the nomination process. What a little weasel.
