200 years of tradition gone to sate Cheeto Mussolini's bloodlust. #RESISTDRUMPFTYRANNY
Nathaniel Torres
Fuck yeah!
Juan Stewart
I know you're baiting but filibusters of federal court nominees started under GWB. This simply restores the status quo to how it was 16 years ago.
Alexander Rivera
They call it the nuclear option because if one party does it, the other one will, too.
The republicans have royally screwed themselves. Once the democrats have the majority again, they will steam roll the republicans.
Jonathan Ward
You literally have no idea what you are talking about. This isn't about filibusters, but the power of the ruling party to override a filibuster.
Bentley Martinez
You do realize Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin right? The POTUS works for the same (((people))) regardless of what party they claim to be from. You're fucking retarded and don't understand how the world works faggot
Ryan Clark
yep, if this was the rights last stand, they fucked themselves even more by doing this.
dems can now put anyone they want onto the supreme court with only a simple majority
Anthony Ross
National CCW reciprocity here we come! fuck yall
Ethan Walker
>Democrats having a majority again
That'll never happen
Daniel Flores
Libcucks BTFO
Aiden Jenkins
>le orange president may may
Jason Lee
Filibusters are a retarded stalling tactic, one which is not explicitly defined or protected under the US constitution.
Joseph Perez
Oh fuck yes. I'm in California and I can't wait for this to happen.
Michael Nelson
Every 4-8 years the system switches, with elections every 4-6 years. Also, Trump didn't get the majority vote, and those voters will be putting more democrats into the House of Representatives.
Camden Bell
Democrats already did it under Obama.
Noah Diaz
True, but the republicans just robbed themselves of it, and they love to filibuster, too. But only this kind of filibuster.
Dominic Martinez
You don't know what you're talking about. This is only about overriding a filibuster for federal judge nominees, not legislation or anything else. Filibustering judges only started 16 years ago and Gorsuch is the first SCOTUS nominee to whom it ever happened.
Thomas Bailey
Replaces a conservative with a conservative, so doesn't really do much of anything.
Waiting for RBG to kick the bucket.
Isaac Wright
FUNFACT: It was super Liberal Harry Reid who came up with the Nuclear option for the Senate. Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for making a rule to screw over Republicans only for it to be used on them because Trump didn't want to appoint a Globalist to fight against himself.
Cooper Myers
I think you are talking about 2013
en.wikipedia.org
"This ruling's precedent eliminated the use of the filibuster against all executive branch nominees and judicial nominees other than to the Supreme Court.[65] The actual Senate rule was never changed."
It has been changed now.
Bentley Thomas
>6 million years of tradition
Evan Hill
You should read my post directly above yours.
Jason Walker
>They call it the nuclear option because if one party does it, the other one will, too.
...which is what you're seeing right now, already. Did you just crawl out from under a rock?
Wyatt Scott
SHITLIBS OFFICIALLY ANNIHILATED
Brandon Long
Senate rules can literally be changed at any time, and this rule had zero tradition. We are back to how things are supposed to be.
Nathan Gray
Yes and that is what set the stage for it being used here. Harry Reid even said before the election that if Hillary won and they took back the Senate they were going to use it for Hillary's nominee.

Caleb Turner
Yea, in blue states
Noah Lewis
The republicans changed the rules. I know a lot of Trump supporter are confused, thinking the democrats did it at some point in the past, but the rule was there until the republicans just changed it. You can look at Or google it yourself. Just remember that internet searches are inside a biased bubble based around your search history.
Thomas Williams
So the only thing it destroyed was the sacred 16 year old tradition of filibustering judges
Blake Miller
More like 100 years, but I think you get the point.
Alexander Thomas
>Democrats change the rules for all judges but scotus
>They dindu nuffin
>Republicans change it for scotus
>They screwed themselves
Really activated my almonds.
Justin Ortiz
No, literally 16 years. It didn't happen prior to Bush 43.
