Whatch you talkin' bout' Willis????????
Reid used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments, but not for the Supreme Court. Reid was trying to get 3 Obama appointees through I believe. McConnell said bad idea and that it was a bad precedent to set. Reid did it anyway. McConnell just returned the favor by making SCOTUS simple majority to get Trumps SCOTUS nominations through.
RBG had multiple cancer battles and was in her 80's and Obama was in his last term when Dems urged her to retire so they could get a like minded judge appointed.
Nope, RBG was too selfish and now she is gone while Trump is in the White House and the Senate is controlled by Reps. Oh well.
And stop with all this hypocrisy BS, please. They are ALL hypocrites, they ALL play dirty politics and if this were reversed the Dems would be doing the EXACT same thing. And it would be ok because it is legal and constitutional.
Gotta love the tweets about burning it all down because they didn't get there way politically. Such weakness. Participation trophy crowd.
