That's the thing that is so disheartening and which I think will likely lead to the (perhaps overdue) breakup of these United States: Republicans have been rewriting the rules since they took power in 2011 to lock in a permanent majority (will of the voters be damned), and now they have the power to name judges who…

They'll believe anything.

We should have had a new constitutional convention decades ago. Too many of the protections written into law for minority classes (about whom the Founders generally did not give a shit) hang by a dangerously delicate thread, as we are now seeing.

Good, that means he has no chance of winning once snap elections are called. A vote of no confidence could bring down his government.

And this is why not a single judicial nominee by the current occupant of the Oval Office should receive a Democratic vote for approval. Doesn't matter who it is. If President Obama didn't have the authority to name a Supreme Court justice in his last year in office, the guy who lost the election by 3 million votes…

Whoooa. Come on, man.

The policy for Democrats in Congress and around the country has to be very very simple: NO. None of this. None of Trump. Go ahead and nuke the filibuster. You get nothing from us.
