HRC got more votes. People have spoken. No SCOTUS Pick for Drumpt.

The Reich Wing wanted the people to decide the direction of the Supreme. They have their answer.

Blockade every choice of Drumpts.

No cave-ins.

Scorched earth. Too many people's lives and people's rights on riding on this.

We just play our cards and tell the world the Republicans own everything that comes out of this

I think his picks for cabinet are intentionally baiting us to block a lot of appointments to give them an excuse to go nuclear.

It is only the Supreme Court that remains a 60 vote threshold.
