Filibuster Court Nominee

[Supposn]

Filibuster Republican Supreme Court Nominee:

The Republican Party’s Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and their judiciary committee members deliberately prevented the U.S. Senate from discussing and voting upon the Democratic president’s nominee for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court while a Democratic president was in office. If this was in the best interests of our nation, then surely Democratic Senators should behave no less patriotically. Until at least the year 2021, Democrats should filibuster any discussion or vote for a seat upon the U.S. Supreme Court.

If Republicans behaved contrary to our nation’s best interests, their behavior should not be rewarded to encourage similar or worse occurrences in future senate sessions.

At very least the Democrats should insist that Senator McConnell on behalf of the Republican Party lead the passage of a vote for his own censure and publicly apologize for their undermining the reputation of the U.S. Senate; I do not believe the Democrats should insist upon McConnell’s resignation (if he wishes to remain in the U.S. Senate).

Until such a public Republican apology, or 2021, it’s Democrats patriotic duty to attempt filibustering any discussion or vote for a seat upon the U.S. Supreme Court while a Republican President is in office.

Respectfully, Supposn

And when the Senate decides to change how many votes are needed, by using the Nuclear Option, how are they going to stop him from being confirmed?

All McConnell has to do is invoke the nuclear option. If it was good enough for DEMOCRAT Harry Reid when the Democrats controlled the Senate, it's good enough now.

No apology. Read what Democrats did with Bush nominations in the mid 2000s.

If it was good enough for Reid to use, why would Democrats oppose using it now.

It is almost like you guys didn't know this was at stake during the election.

I think they knew. They're pissed that they lost the chance to appoint at least 1 if not more in the near future. Instead of using the legislative process to do things, the left goes through the courts to find a sympathetic judge to rule in their favor. It's not surprising they do things this way since they continue to lose legislative seats and governorships at the state level.

Exactly. They see the court getting away from them for the next 30 years. That will be devastating for them

The Dems won't be able to stop Gorsuch's nomination. If they try to filibuster, the GOP will just exercise the "nuclear option" and reduce the number of votes needed to confirm to a simple majority. It's the price Dems pay for being in the minority. The Dems only defense will be to increase their numbers in the Senate. If Trumps keeps going the way he's going - maybe Trump will drag the GOP's approval down which will help elect more Democrats.
