Its war. Dems would go nuclear to push their agenda. So should the Repubs. Get the judges on the court and talk later.

Harry Reid just stated 2 weeks ago that democrats were planning to do this very thing in the Senate to get Clinton's nominations through.

Turn it around on them and use it.

Actually, more than "some" Federal Judges. I believe this is the single greatest long term damage done by 0bama.
List of federal judges appointed by Barack Obama

Following is a comprehensive list of all Article III and Article IV United States federal judges appointed by President Barack Obama during his presidency, as well as a partial list of Article I federal judicial appointments, excluding appointments to the District of Columbia judiciary.[1]

Dunno... let's find out after we get the SCOTUS and repealing Obamacare taken care of.

Warning NSFW Use headphones!!!! Yes, it's full of foul language, but this young black kid reflects exactly how I felt when Trump won!

I'll forgive his foul language because I used a whole bunch myself yelling at the TV!

I won't put the video embedded since there's lots of enthusiastic yelling.

Kaine already said the Dems were prepared to go this route if they won. Use their words against them. Push the judges through. They sure as hell wouldn't hesitate.

I've kept my mouth pretty quiet for this thing. I was cautiously optimistic. I'm ecstatic now. Love my friends new video...

Time to get started!

It's not a constitutional thing, it's Senate rules. A 2/3 majority is required to change a senate rule. However like I stated above, the presiding officer can suspend the rule on a vote by a simple majority vote. Once the rule was in place the appointment would be voted on and the result would be guided by a simple majority.

Unfortunately, Kentucky wasn't all red. The blue stain in the center of the Commonwealth is Fayette County (Lexington), and Jefferson County (Louisville) is along the Ohio River, so the color may be hard to tell too; but otherwise RED.

Harry Reid Has 'Set the Senate' to Get Clinton Court Nominees Approved

http://www.newsmax.com/Politic...016/10/24/id/755095/

Senate Democrats may enact the nuclear option for Supreme Court nominees next year if the party wins both the presidency and control of the Senate.

Sen. Harry Reid, the chamber's minority leader who will soon be retired, told Talking Points Memo he has "set the Senate" to fight back against any Republican protests regarding a Supreme Court nominee.

"I really do believe that I have set the Senate, so when I leave, we're going to be able to get judges done with a majority," Reid said.

Under current rules, Supreme Court nominees must be approved by a 60 percent Senate vote.

"It's clear to me that if the Republicans try to filibuster another circuit court judge, but especially a Supreme Court justice, I've told 'em how and I've done it, not just talking about it. I did it in changing the rules of the Senate. It'll have to be done again."

Reid added, "They mess with the Supreme Court, it'll be changed just like that, in my opinion. So I've set that up. I feel very comfortable with that."

In 2013, the Democrat-controlled Senate under Reid's leadership passed the nuclear option for executive branch and lower-court nominees. The move was done in the face of Republican filibusters of nominations put forth by President Barack Obama.

I'm sick of playing paddy cake with the Dems. They don't play the crap. Neither should we.

On Trump's web-site, under the "Second Amendment" section, listed, among other things, "National Right to Carry - Should be legal in all 50 States". He further states that this is a right, not a privilege.

I hope this becomes reality!!

MAGA!!!!!

Breitbart has Arizona going to Trump, increasing his E.C. total to 288. He could go over 300 with a win in Michigan.
