No person has divided the U.S. more than this nigger. Mission accomplished.

No he's not

Finally some good news.

Don't be fooled by the Jews in the media. It's all good news for Team Trump. The truth is on their side.

thank god, finally

He hasn't been confirmed yet, but he will be tomorrow, because the majority party cheated.

Say the line shill.

WE WILL REALIZE THE BOSS'S VISION OF THE FUTURE

...

Is there a video of it?

Republicans love their tricks.

What are the chances that they go nuclear and then reinstate the 60 vote threshold for the SCOTUS nomination again before 2018, just in case Democrats become the majority in senate again? Them Dems wont be able to trigger the nuclear option again without looking bad.

Everything Trump has done so far has been shit on. Everything has gone wrong save for maybe this SCOTUS confirmation (and only because they used the nuclear option).

Breitbart and Info Wars are not real news, m8.

>cheated

Because dems would absolutely play ball right?

They could have put Jesus up there as a nom and we'd see kikes like Schumer on TV ranting about how walking on water is racist.

Get fucked

quick rundown on nuclear option?

If it can just be turned on and off so easily nobody will care about it anyway. The precedent has been set, so now we're stuck with it. The dems will use it against the republicans next time they are in power, so look forward to all the bullshit legislation we are going to have to deal with.

>Need 60 votes to do something
>Don't have 60 votes
>Challenge rules as a constitutional question
>Only 51 votes needed to do something

The Democrats won't be able to take the Senate back in 2018.
There's no way and the map is crazy for them because there's 8 Republican seats in dark red states and 23 Democrat seats up of which 10 were won by Trump.

Shit on by the faggot republican establishment and the court system. I don't think we understood the depth of the problem. The republicans are hardly any different than the faggot democrats.

>cheated
They are only following the precedent set by the dems

Lucius Lamar was confirmed in 1887 to the SCOTUS by a vote of 32 to 28, that's 53%, not 60%

Nathan Clifford confirmed 1858 by 26-23 vote. 53%. Simple majority does seem to have been the law.

Reduce standard for passing from supermajority 60 of 100 to majority rules 51 of 100.

The Republicans lose nothing on this, as they never filibuster democratic president's picks.

That's an outright lie being peddled by the media. He's accomplished plenty, they just don't report it.

And the law trumps the fucking Senate rules.

Except the Republicans are literally tied to Trump now.
If he messes up then they mess up and if you look at the Republicans and how they voted on bills then you'd see that they support trump on everything from Betsy DeVos to Planned Parenthood.

One of Reagan's best quotes: "It's amazing what you can get done when you don't care who gets credit for it."

I heard someone on Twitter say this evil move by the conservashits breaks 200 years of tradition? Wth, idiots? As if there was EVER any doubt we are living in a nazi-Putin-fascistic dystopia, this just confirmed everything. Omg, karma is going to DESTROY you alt-right rethuglican pieces of SHIT, just you wait and see.

Exactly, this 60% nonsense is just a meme. Simple majority was all that was ever needed.

Very few of the Senate rules come from the constitution; most are from tradition and can be changed at any time.

Historically the Senate took pride in what they called "unlimited debate", meaning that no bill would be voted on until every senator was finished speaking for or against it. This led to what we call the filibuster, where the majority party can hold the floor forever if it likes to prevent passage of a bill.

Changing a senate rule is not cheating; it's merely against senate tradition. Lots of people think the filibuster should have been done away with decades ago because it has prevented the Senate from passing bills that the majority of americans wanted. The longest filibuster of all was against the Civil Rights Act and lasted 60 working days.

...

Can someone give me a redpill on this? I'm real shitty at writing stuff that makes sense and I want to give it to someone else.

MAGA BITCH
