Everyone has heard the “A fancy dog stole my playbook and videotaped my practice” excuse before.

The thing is, Republicans have the votes, I don’t understand what is preventing them putting it to a vote. Can the democrats stall for longer than a week on this? I thought they had played all their cards.

That’s why I’m so pissed at Democrats voting yes to any of the cabinet nominees. Even if they seem sane and reasonable they won’t dare oppose Herr Drumpf in any way or they know they will be fired. Just look at Nikki Haley. She’s relatively reasonable by Republican standards but she was ambassador for one day when she…

Republicans are actually starting to turn on Trump.

Trump: *realizes Statue of Liberty is not getting with the program, dismantles same and prepares to ship back to France. (Mexico to pay shipping costs).

or sit in. I think we already are reaching a point where the country needs to keep protesting but also start sit-ins and the like.

Not yet. DOJ is under Executive. However, they are ignoring the judicial and the legislative branch is full of cowards, so we’re just as fucked.

And 1984 was a warning not an instruction manual

Appointees can’t be filibustered. You can thank Harry Reid for that.

The man has said that if you don’t fall in line then get out... I’m pretty sure we’ve moved past warning signs.

No, it’s really worse. At least back then we could trust most of the conservative party to respect the law, and put nation over party.

You say that...but according to Trump, if you don’t fall in line theres the door:

When they do that, they get fired. Apparently.

If it’s even possible by the time he is removed, it will take decades to undo the damage Trump is going to do.

Trump is hell-bent not only on maintaining his travel ban, but also—crucially—on being obeyed.

An astute point from The Intercept’s Washington editor: Trump had to skip over three other US Attorneys to get to one he liked.

I mean, it’s also a referendum on whatever other batshit ideas Trump’s puppeteers decide to try out, and not many Republicans seemed too worked up about trying to stop that in the first place..

If it wasn’t clear before, it’s time to go absolutely bonkers on Sessions. If it means filibustering risking the GOP going nuclear, so be it. Trump has already gone nuclear and it hasn’t even been a week. And, if they do that, then the Dems should just walk out the Senate chamber onto the front steps of the Capitol.

It would be great if our checks and balances started checking and balancing anytime now

This makes it nearly impossible to spin the Sessions vote as anything other than a referendum on the Muslim ban. You can’t claim to oppose the ban and vote to confirm him, okay? Looking at you, Graham and McCain. Looking at you, Feinstein. Looking at you, entire senate.
