The Republican Brotherhood will stop at nothing to achieve it's stated goals of obstruction, a repeal to Obamacare and tiny tracking devices placed in every woman's uterus!

The only reason most of the executive branch nominees are controversial is because Obama chose them. And as I understand it, this would not, unfortunately effect judicial nominies.

I for one think the option is long overdue. Really, what are the Repugs going to do? Be less cooperative? Change them from the party of 'NO' to the party of "No way"?

Will we have a choice? As I recall, it was the Republicans who first pulled this 'nuclear option' business to get Bush's judicial nominees in.

The GOP is already a post-policy party. What're they gonna do... start actually doing their jobs for a change?

Oh look! The Lord High Commissioner for the Office of Dunning Kruger Information Services, Kingdom of Derpistan tried to make a funny!

We know you're butt hurt over the well earned reputation you have for bad predictions and analysis; but the important differences with what I've done on this subject compared to you is that I pretty much reported what some Democratic senators and Harry Reid have proposed. The fact Reid can't get the votes for a filibuster reform, or that he caves in every time Mitch McConnell promises to work in a more constructive way, or what the press reports in terms of votes, etc--- and even if I've stood flatly on my feet and stated such a prediction (based on press reports on the votes), big whoop-- that's pretty different than your predictions on a broad swath of subjects. Hell you've even made a few in this single post. Well all know this, and even your fellow mods in talk_politics know this now, and mock you for it.
