Exactly- see my post #5 below. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #7
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. SMDH. Scrivener7 Jan 2022 #3
I'm glad you said it first. gab13by13 Jan 2022 #8
He couldn't convince his colleagues to let him be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. tritsofme Jan 2022 #23
that's because he has vastly less seniority than Durbin does dsc Jan 2022 #52
Caucus rules would have prohibited Durbin from holding the post, he got a waiver. tritsofme Jan 2022 #54
leadership track, likely not dsc Jan 2022 #55
Thanks SO much, for 'explaining' this, elleng Jan 2022 #4
Any reason it's wrong? Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #6
The fact that Biden has had a record number of judges confirmed in his first year Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #10
So, maybe Mitch kept the powder dry Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #11
Maybe, but perhaps not. See #5 below Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #14
Yes. It ignores the fact that the VP can break a tie on a motion to discharge. onenote Jan 2022 #16
Principle bad, show them how to 'screw' us. elleng Jan 2022 #19
Yep. madaboutharry Jan 2022 #9
The old "Hope in one hand..." saying might actually apply. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #12
Perhaps there's room for a procedural end run by nominating someone already approved by this Senate Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #5
That's not a thing. tritsofme Jan 2022 #22
I'm biting my tongue on this one. gab13by13 Jan 2022 #13
The author doesn't know what he's talking about FBaggins Jan 2022 #17
Exactly. So much poor journalism in the rush to be first with analysis. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #21
Thanks, I knew this was hot garbage. tritsofme Jan 2022 #24
You do know the author of the article is aware of the 4-hour limit Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #39
No - he didn't address it FBaggins Jan 2022 #46

You sho bout that?! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2022 #26
Is it in Mitch's interest to block Breyer's replacement Mad_Machine76 Jan 2022 #27
Seems to be a pattern here. Voltaire2 Jan 2022 #28
Defeatists spreading false information? I agree, annoying pattern. tritsofme Jan 2022 #29
They will if they can. Would Democrats be able doc03 Jan 2022 #30
You ought to consider deleting this thread. No sense spreading misinformation. tritsofme Jan 2022 #31
Unless that's the objective. onenote Jan 2022 #33
That's a hot take. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #34
So you're not going to remove the misinformation? tritsofme Jan 2022 #36
Philip Elliott is expressing a way he thinks the Republicans can block a nominee Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #37
He is wrong. It's been definitively proven in this thread. He is getting roasted on Twitter. tritsofme Jan 2022 #38
And why don't you take down your post, which is plainly incorrect. onenote Jan 2022 #40
That they haven't done this tactic is not proof that the tactic isn't possible. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #41
What is so difficult to understand? If the rules worked the way this guy tritsofme Jan 2022 #43
You're wrong. They have done it and its failed. onenote Jan 2022 #44
Your post 41 title is a fallacy in itself (Denying the Antecedent) Torchlight Jan 2022 #53

Thank you. Although I wonder if this will persuade the OP that he's wrong. onenote Jan 2022 #45

This is total BS and you should be ashamed for posting it. William769 Jan 2022 #48

This is flat out wrong. Bleacher Creature Jan 2022 #50
Yet, three hours after it was pointed out that the Time article was wrong onenote Jan 2022 #51
Did I miss some rule? Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2022 #56
No rule. Just common sense and common courtesy to take down a story you know is false. onenote Jan 2022 #59
Well, there's always self-respect. All you have to do is note that Philip Elliott has reversed muriel_volestrangler Jan 2022 #63
This was discussed on TRMS LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2022 #57
