Republicans invoke Nuclear Option to help get Gorsuch confirmed

[Blimey]

Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite them, but the Demoncrats really gave them no other options.. it is clear they will refuse to okay any Trump nominee.

It will. Dems will put through God knows what at some point and pass it and we'l be pissed for it, but until then we can just enjoy watching them squirm. And next time if somebody else is up before Trump is out I think he should put through a total right wing dick just to piss the dems off. They deserve no better.

Ginsburg will now never leave. Just to spite Trump and us pro-gunners. She drinks her witches brew every night to prolong her hideous life.

She might just hang on for a while even though she is ancient and had a bunch of illnesses, but there's definitely no way she is still working as a supreme court justice in 6-7 years, should Trump remain as potus. In fact 2-3 could be gone by then.

They can change it back whenever - it's not chiseled in stone. If the DemonCraps get enough power sure, they'll change it back.

Look at what far-far left "justices" we've gotten from dems - Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer.

All "we" want is strict scrutiny and a constructionist outlook. No "legislating from the bench". With Gorsuch we'll get it, IMHO. And IMHO, he will not always participate in rulings that we like.

The real effect Trump will have is on the lower Federal courts.

From the NYT -yeah it's a rag, but they still may be able to count:

"It’s not just vacancies. The federal bench has many judges who are older than 70. Federal judges are appointed for life, but at a certain combination of years served and age, they become eligible to accept “senior status,” a form of semi-retirement. If a judge enters senior status, that creates an open seat. Though it is highly unlikely, if all the federal judges who are eligible take senior status during Mr. Trump’s first term, he could appoint half of the federal bench." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/02/14/upshot/trump-poised-to-transform-american-courts.html

That's where the rubber hits the road. If he appoints just 25% of the federal bench, and breaks up the 9th Circuit, barring any traitorous crap by dems and RINOs, the Federal bench will be changed for decades, especially if he picks younger, qualified judges.

Maybe (Hopefully) she'll pull a Harry Reid on the weight machine

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is Fit As Hell

All the pushups and rigorous routines won't help you if an organ quits. That article wreaks of desperation BTW. Total emergency puff piece to calm the frayed nerves of our beloved progressive friends.

She'll live another 20, maybe 30 years. She's as healthy as all get out. In fact, she's so healthy her personal trainer stands next to her in case she falls off the elliptical. She had colon cancer 18 years ago, pancreatic cancer 8 years ago, and a stent in her heart two years ago.

But, heck, she can do 20 push ups which is more than she could do when she started training, so she's literally turning back time. She's 84 going on 48.

Hey, whatever the dems need to tell themselves to get a good night's sleep. Though, they are lies. Here are what dems really feel: the same things republicans feel--or rather felt last year, that the election was critical in getting 1-3 justices in place in just the first term of the president:

Well, at least we now know they even lie to themselves about shit. No self respect.

This is not all of it...

They are going to change even more rules for more judges to get on and too be done quicker.

I have even heard(read) some rumblings that the GOP run Senate may consider adding additional Justices to SCOTUS. Yeah, they can do that.

Special message for very special Chuck Schumer. For the next 8 years:

I often have people in my office for a consultation that after running through their laundry list of complaints and issues, actually tell me that they consider themselves healthy. Their definition of health and my definition of health are quite different.

She eats the souls of aborted babies to stay alive.
