GOP obstinacy vs. Dem obstructionism -- the final round?

Courtesy of The Carpetbagger Report

Right up until the GOP destroys the Senate rules as we know them.

The Hill reported today that Senate GOP leaders are contemplating the long-rumored "nuclear" option. This is very bad news.

Senate Republican leaders are considering rewriting the chamber's rules to limit what they call Democratic obstructionism that has slowed the pace of work in the Senate to a trickle.
In particular, Republicans want to eliminate the ability of Democrats to filibuster consideration of the president's executive and judicial-branch nominees, as well as bar filibusters that block the naming of conferees prior to House and Senate negotiations.

To do so, Senate GOP leaders are considering resorting to what they call the "constitutional option" and what Democrats deride as the "nuclear option" because they charge it would amount to a Republican declaration of all-out war against them.


Keep an eye on this. If Republicans move forward on this, it will create a partisan atmosphere that would make impeachment look like a tea party.

through carefully because if the shoe gets on the other foot and Democrats are a majority it could work against them big-time.

And they'll probably pronounce it as the "noo-clooyer" option

What dumbasses.

I he doesn't get to nominate the next Supreme Court Judge, we will.
