Fox News Pundit Says End Of Judicial Filibuster Could Lead To ‘Military Coup’

[ashling]

Fox News commentator Charles W. Cooke on Thursday warned that the recent move from the Senate to end filibusters on judicial nominees could lead to a “military coup.”

Cooke, who is also a National Review columnist, was speaking to Fox News host Gretchen Carlson on Thursday afternoon when he made the leap of logic. “I think it is fairly clear they want to distract from the Obamacare disaster, but this is something they wanted to do for awhile,” Cooke said of the decision to allow for a simple majority to pass nominees through the Senate. “They are very frustrated that Republicans have been blocking their nominations as they blocked Republican nominees when Bush was president.”

1. "Leap of logic" is right.

Smacking his head squarely on an overhead beam, giving him brain damage.

2. The Senate acting within its prerogative to establish its own rules

would possibly lead to a military coup? Charles Cooke, if you didn't bring enough to share with anyone, don't light that pipe up.
