Neil Gorsuch Confirmation Process Discussion (confirmed 54-45)

Tell me, what incentive does there exist for McConnell to not rip up the agreement next time an empty supreme court seat needs to be filled?

he is an old-school-guy who likes the filibuster and i guess would hate to be forced by the lunatic wing of the GOP to push some madman through just cause they can.

besides....there is NOTHING the democrats could have got...literally NOTHING.

They have their pride and dignity. Something they would hand over if this McConnell deal went through.

Disgraceful by Dems if true.

*jerk-off motion*

The way GOP hacks talk about "compromise candidates", I think they wouldn't be satisfied unless Dems nominated an Oujia board so we can get Scalia's opinions straight from the pits of hell.

Republicans not letting Dems let ANY nominee through, including Cruz and McCain talking about never confirming any potential Hillary nominees = "douchey"

Dems not voting for a Republican judge, forcing a filibuster they know will get nuked anyway = Cowards, disappointments, fills me anger, what complete hacks.

"I'm NOT a Republican" says biggest GOP hack on the forum.


Also:
Cruz: "At no point did conservatives and the Tea Party demand that Republicans oppose everything from Barack Obama."

I like to think Cruz has to refrain from touching himself when saying something so obviously bullish!t.

I have a feeling that this going to look hilarious when Gorsuch makes Souter look like Scalia.

what does that mean? You think Gorsuch is going to be a leftie? No way.

TN Volunteer is a tedious troll who spends his time begging for attention, you'd be best off disregarding that post.

Calling TN Vol a troll weakens the word. He's a model poster.

Hatch apparently told reporters that killing the legislative filibuster would be a oneway ticket to socialism if Dems ever got congress.
