Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I was just watching another one of Franken's question (AKA lecture) sessions. I'm now pretty sure that he's mentally retarded.



There's doubt?

Annnnndddd Schumer is saying the Dem's will filibuster. Funny how he didn't do that in 2005 when Gorsuch was appointed to a federal court.

Time for McConnell to use the nuclear option. This stonewalling has to stop. Gorsuch is a Boy Scout.

I don't think so, because I'm pretty sure he's neither gay or transgender. The identity obsessed Dems would have a really tough time opposing him.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Is he not qualified ??

Has not shown to be a diligent judge and lawyer, with a firm grasp of what will be expected of him as USSC Justice ??


So why are they filibustering him?

Because he didn't come out as a gay, anti-gun, pro-abortion on demand, pro-illegal immigrant, pro-single payer healthcare, anti-death penalty Latino Asian African American transgender Xe.

Neil Gorsuch was on the list of 21 that Trump put forward. This is the first I heard of a list of 11.  =|

She never saw a decent pair of dueling pistols?   Holy Aaron Burr, Batman!

Not just dueling, but IIRC, some with the frizzen made to close the pan well enough for all-day, even concealed carry, needing only to be cocked and fired.

Quote
Since Gorsuch’s nomination, Democratic senators have been imposing the same litmus tests Hillary Clinton announced during last year’s presidential campaign...

...even members of the Roe Supreme Court, including modern liberal champions William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall, would fail still another litmus test: A mere three months before announcing the abortion decision, the Supreme Court summarily rejected the claim of a same-sex couple that the Constitution gave them a right to marry, declining to take seriously the argument that would become law in Obergefell.

All of this highlights a problem with the ever-changing interpretation of the Constitution Senate Democrats promote: It imposes litmus tests nearly every justice who is not currently serving would fail, from the giants of the more distant past to recent liberal heroes. That’s not a compelling standard for an institution whose rulings are supposed to stand the test of time.

I keep reading that Chuck U. Schumer has chosen to die on the 60 vote/filibuster hill on Friday.

It'll all come down to (checks rules about disparaging nicknames)... Senators Graham, McCain, and Collins.

I'm more than certain they will preserve the Democrats ability to filibuster Supreme Court nominations.  (The Republicans don't have that ability.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I'm honestly surprised the esteemed Senator from Arizona is able to see that the former decorum of the Senate is gone and is able to realize that the Reid Option is now necessary.

FYI
I just got a robocall urging me to call my Senators to tell them not to allow a "partisan" change in the rules that would disallow a filibuster, although they did not use that word.  They merely suggested that it would prevent "Trump's nominee" from being confirmed.

Yes, I'm registered as a Democrat  --I find that quite handy sometimes, despite the fact that a number of years ago I disaffiliated myself from most of their philosophy.  I've mentioned this before.

It seems like they are pulling out all the stops in their attempts to "blockade" the red States.

As if that weren't obvious by now.

The call could have been to all voters, but judging from the other robocalls I've been getting since before the election, I doubt it.

I like Rand Paul's suggestion that we need to stop calling it the nuclear option and start calling it the Reid option.
