I am watching C-SPAN and watching Democratic Senators one after another coming up and slamming the Republicans for changing the rules to a 51 majority. Then people like wyden & Coons quoting how senator Byrd who’s been there for 30 years and some other guy for 25 never has seen such a move like this before. First off any senator who served more than 8 years is out of touch with Americans and should move on. That’s the problem with the government these career senators and congressmen spend all their time in a little bubble in Washington and lose touch with reality.
The Democrats are standing up saying that judge Gorsuch time-after-time sided with the right wing of the Republican Party and has made many rulings leaning right. The real problem is that the Democrats don’t like that he stands for the law the way it’s written in the Constitution.
Many of the Democrats view the Constitution as outdated and should be amended or changed to reflect the more liberal view of Americans today. The country is split right down the middle Sharply and it is without a doubt if Hillary would be the president they would be writing and instituting all kinds of crazy laws and rule changes. Gorsuch is the only way we have of protecting the Constitution and the ideology that originally founded America. The Democratic party is so far left now and it’s not just a few it’s a majority of them that there is no way or two parties can ever work together again that I can say in at least a generation I think the only way that we can protect ourselves now is to elect Republican president, Republican Senator s, Republican congressman and hope that the Democrats don’t get into office for at least 25 years.
Democrats and Republicans are so far apart on ideology right now that it’s like Israel and the Palestinians that peace will never happen and I cannot see any way that the left and the right can work together. 40 years ago Democrats and Republicans were not that far apart they had little differences on just a few items. That is why they used to be able to make deals and compromise on a few things. But you can’t compromise on things like the future of the country or the letter of the Constitution and what America stands for. The globalist view of one world, one money, one people should never be allowed in this country. That is why in this election Trump got elected and people got scared enough that there was no coming back from the left if Hillary won.
- We need to get rid of the choke hold that the Democrats and the left has on our institutions, schools, Media, news, internet laws.
- We need to teach history in our schools again and teach why and how this country came to be and why people were willing to die for it.
- We need term limits we have to stop this career politician Monopoly in Washington.
- We should also pass a law nationally that English is the only language that will be taught in schools and the only language printed in government documents. The amount of money that’s wasted printing things and duplicate in English and Spanish is just crazy. Anyone who wants to immigrate to this country must learn English.
I hope that Trump can find a way to get around this gridlock. But the left and right are split right down the middle and if it comes down to whether I’d rather have the Democrats rule or the Republicans ? I definitely want the Republicans. I am more interested in stopping the Democrats and the left from ever getting into Power until they move back to the center. Until then I hope there’s a majority of Republicans for the next 20 years if need be in both houses. Right now I’m not interested in them finding bipartisanship at all.
I like in this to a married couple that has a bunch of kids and they want to go out to watch a movie and the only person left is the liberal left homeless uncle that’s been living in your basement for 20 years. Nothing good is ever going to come out of that. So judge Gorsuch will get in and will be the next Supreme Court judge for at least 25 years and thank God for that.
God Bless America !

Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; eliminate most filibusters on nominees
By Paul KaneIt’s
more than just a rule change: The so-called “nuclear option” will fundamentally alter the way the Senate operates – for good. ((In Play))
Senate Democrats took the dramatic step Thursday of eliminating filibusters for most nominations by presidents, a power play they said was necessary to fix a broken system but one that Republicans said will only rupture it further.
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.
The immediate rationale for the move was to allow the confirmation of three picks by President Obama to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — the most recent examples of what Democrats have long considered unreasonably partisan obstruction by Republicans.
