I assume that Mitch McConnell will hand Hillary a list of possible judges

[CK_John]

on day1 that he will allow a vote on.

Even if we get a 50-50 Senate and the VP will have to put a couch in his Senate office and have to break the tie on every vote, without 60 votes we got nada.

I hope that someone in the DNC is working on a mid-year plan for the House/Senate in 2018.

1. McConnell can pound sand.

Preferably back on the beach where he emerged from a turtle egg.

[Old Terp]

6. Turtles are beautiful, wonderful creatures

Do not insult them so.

[MattP]

2. Nuclear option say what?

[Hortensis]

4. Yes. McConnell will

have a chance to allow his caucus to vote or block, but if Schumer, Murray, whomever is majority leader the pubs'll have pretty much run their course on blocking judicial appointments.

Also, it's likely that the dynamics of the house will change somewhat in the next term with new faces replacing some of the old, especially tea partiers.

3. after their behavior regarding garland they don't deserve to have filibuster power.

*we* deserve the best, most liberal justice in decades. we've had to wait soooo long.

that said, we'll no doubt have to wait longer still....

[MohRokTah]

5. The filibuster on SCOTUS appointments will be dead day 1. eom

[CK_John]

8. Why, nothing will change in the House or Senate?

[MohRokTah]

9. Dems will take the Senate. SCOTUS nominees will sail through confirmation. eom

[Uponthegears]

11. Agreed

The Senate rules provided for simple majority vote on cloture the last time we were in power for all presidential nominees other than Supreme Court Justices. After what The Turtle did to Obama, you can bet that exception will be gone on Day One.

7. Hope somebody hands turdle his hat

He's just so nasty.

10. 2018 is tough for democratic senators. 23 Dems to 8 Repugs

[CK_John]

13. And 2020 we need to take state houses to control the census.

Especially those states that will lose a House seat or 2 and the states that will pickup those seats.

[Greywing]

12. I hope she rips it up and throws it back in his face

[DFW]

14. If there is still no confirmation before the inauguration,

I would hope Madame President would be sending her own picks, and not waiting for Minority Leader McTurtle to be sending her his.

[Hortensis]

15. No chance the Heritage Foundation list would

have anyone she'd consider, or Turtle Face's should his differ.

[NCTraveler]

16. Fuck The Turtle.

How will driverless cars come into play in all of this?

[Codeine]

17. I predict 70% unemployment by next Saturday. nt

[NCTraveler]

18. I have heard about this end of August surprise. It's going to play big for Trump.
