be voted on and seated. So those 95 or more judges that has been voted on and seated where also stolen.

Plus, McTurtle denied any investigation on Russia's involvement in the 2016 elections allowing shithole to steal the election and the GOPs across board won also.

try to be honest here. let's say RBG dies this year or next and they don't do away with the filibuster for supreme court justices, if the dems in the senate don't filibuster ANY nominee I'll be so pissed.

what we should do now, I am talking about before that piece of garbage McConnell pulled this unprecedented bullshit, the Democrats would NOT have done that if the roles were reversed.

Now anything goes. As far as I am concerned we are in a Civil War. The republican party is the party of the white suprematists and Nazis, and for that reason alone we don't yield a thing.


To your point regarding "if they don't do away with the filibuster for the SC before 2020", you can forget about that. They made it very clear the filibuster is gone for SC nominees, and the SC alone is the reason why I despise any self-identified progressive who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016, by either voting third party or NOT voting.

Why else would he have denied Obama the SC nomination when every poll had Clinton hugely favored to win the 2016 election? He knew.
