Mitch begged him not use the nuclear option. Mitch said “you will come to regret this decision”.

Without the nuclear option the democrats gifted DTJ, no way he gets Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett on the court.

Dems can only blame themselves.

RBG hanging on to power like grim death was the second nail.

You just know it killed Roberts that she wasn't there to make his vote matter.

Refresh my memory, what exactly is the "nuclear option?" Ending the filibuster? When did Dingy Harry do this?


Federal judiciary appointments once required 60 votes in the Senate to pass, per Senate rules. Dingy Harry (in 2013, iirc) changed that to a simple majority. When the GOP took back the Senate, they extended that to SCOTUS appointments.

Trump put a significant number onto the district and appellate courts too. He and Mitch filled up a whole bunch of vacancies.

Obama was very sloppy and/or lazy filling seats.

Is Harry Reid considered a DINO? He definitely knew what he was doing.

I thought that she died way before it was acknowledged.

In short, weekend at Bernies type shite.

Months on end with only TMZ putting forth video of her.

It didn’t pass muster with me (still doesn’t).

His nuclear option was for judicial appointees excluding Supreme Court. At least that’s what I’ve been able to find.

I’m all for what happened today but we need to keep our facts straight.

He started the ball rolling downhill. Once he changed the rules for everything but the SC, it was easy to extend the goal posts a bit further. It wouldn't have happened had he not neutered the filibuster for everything else.

Dingy Harry is one of the most fitting nicknames ever.

They nominated a guy for a federal judgeship who didn't even know what a motion in limine was.
