What's this?

It wasn't stupid to all those hypocrites when they were the minority. Now

it's Bull Connor 2.0 (for the hypocrites anyway). And claims like yours that Mitch would get rid of it just come off as laughable when he didn't. He also told Harry not to go nuclear on judges, and what it would mean if he did. Just as he's told you would it would mean if you do it now. And he, and the GOP will do that too.

Ending the filibuster is what is indeed stupid. And if Dems do, it's only a matter of time before they regret having done that.

The filibuster is stupid. I don’t care who got rid of it for fed judges -- WahooMatt05 01/19/2022 4:39PM

True. Although 31 R Senators signed that letter when it would've benefitted -- Hoodafan 01/19/2022 4:20PM

LOL. The Dems will support it again in about 12 months, if you catch... -- Los Angeles Hoo 01/19/2022 4:10PM

We'll see, but I don't think so. For one thing, in about 12 months my guess -- southdenverhoo 01/19/2022 5:01PM
