Nuclear option, options? Are these possible?

Post by oaktonhokie »

First of all, if the socialists win back the senate, chucky schumer will go nuclear in about two minutes. And say that the Rs started it. So we are going to be there anyway, why not do it when republicans sort of have some power in that body? How about these options:

1. Go nuclear now. Get all the R agenda stuff passed including judges, budgets and naming of post offices. Then if the socialists win back the senate, before congress reconvenes change the rules back to where they are now. Yes, it's politics. No it is not how the framers intended it. It's hardball politics. You know, like the socialists play. Let chucky tell why he changed the rules if the socialists take the senate.

2. Change the rules to require a super majority of 55 votes. Or 53. What is magic about 60 votes? If the rules can be changed to 51, they can be changed. Change them to what you need.

But until little mitchy mcconnel and his band of weaklings get some feck, they will be reduced yet again to doing nothing ... and then whining when the socialists do it and have their way with them.

Again.
If you bend over backwards long enough,
eventually you'll fall down.
