Squirm liberals~!
Amy Barrett is next.
“Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 85 and Stephen Breyer turns 80 next month, so Trump may well get another opportunity to cement conservative dominance of the court for years to come.”
Ironically, Liberals have a disdain for working class voters as observed by Sen Obama: ‘They cling to guns or religion’ in 2008. I bet Liberals now pray to God for the health and longevity of SCOTUS Ginsburg and Breyer!
Acknowledgement and Gratitude. The following is conveniently omitted in the story and must be cited.
Thank you Harry Reid (Democrat Nevada) and the other 51 Dems (52 Dem total voted yes) in 2013 for making this SCOTUS pick possible with a simple majority (as opposed to needing 60 Senate votes). Thank you sincerely.
Per WaPo “Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; eliminate most filibusters on nominees”
“Democrats used a rare parliamentary move to change the rules so that federal judicial nominees and executive-office appointments can advance to confirmation votes by a simple majority of senators, rather than the 60-vote supermajority that has been the standard for nearly four decades.”
