Filibuster casino don's Supreme Court nominees


"Democrats should stand in the way of everything Trump does, and especially his Supreme Court pick. As Republicans have taught us over the past few years, with hundreds of President Barack Obama’s judicial picks languishing unconfirmed, there is no penalty for such obstruction. So now, it’s our turn."

Of course that would require Democratic Senators to show some spine so ... you know.

May end up being our friends the next 4 years. Yes the Supreme may be fucked but president obama was able to put 8 years of judges all over the country and may be our last hope.
