Some of the Trump party's bullshit about the filibuster needs to be shoveled back into their laps.

[Atticus]

As Senator Klobuchar recently pointed out, over time there have been over 160 prior "carve-outs" or "exceptions" to this rule. I believe the last was engineered by McConnell and permitted him to ram through dozens of federal judicial nominees who can't find their ass with either hand.

So, let's be rude; let's interrupt ANYONE ---in (ahem!) either party---who begins to mewl about how a carve-out for voting rights would "destroy the Senate"and remind them of the above. And, if they persist in peddling their manure, why not call it what it is: "I am too busy"---OR, "We think too much of our audience"--- to listen to your bullshit!"

1. What? McConnell changed the judges rules? Ah no.

Why are you saying this?

3. Beause he changed it for Supreme Court justices.

It wasn’t in effect until he put it in effect.

5. What? Trump added hundreds of lower level judges.

They do serious damage. If you say that Mcconnell changed the Supreme Court judges you be right. But that’s not what was written.

6. Yes, Reid had no choice but to change the rule for lower court judges.

Because the assholes wouldn’t let any of President Obama’s nominees be confirmed.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. The bad guys always win it seems.

2. Someone was on MSNBC the other night

Maybe one of the Constitutional scholars? Saying that the filibuster is not in the Constitution, and is a relic of the Jim Crow era.

Needs to go back under the rock it crawled out of.

4. Exactly. It is a racist Senate rule for the benefit of Southern Senators.
