Trump gives McConnell green light to to use nuclear option to confirm Supreme Court nominee

[egbertowillies]

The Senate will likely change forever because Trump just gave Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell the green light to use the nuclear option. He said it with a resolve and without equivocating.

The hypocrisy of Republicans is astounding. Democrats must not confirm Neil Gorsuch. It is the theft of President Obama's Supreme Court and Democrat's appointment. Republicans must be solely responsible for that theft. Let the Republicans go nuclear. In a country that continues to move in the progressive direction, when the dust settles, they will regret it.

3. I realize McTurtle has very little integrity, but

Trumpie is behaving as if he were CEO and they needed his permission. McTurtle should politely say thanks, but we can handle our branch of the gov't.
