Harry Reid opened up a can of worms by changing senate rules for voting on judges when he was Majority leader. He changed it from 60 votes to pass to simple majority. It was called the Nuclear Option. I am glad he did it personally. I think the other poster is right. It will be used to fire up the republican base.
Even it they lose the Senate Majority which I don't think they will they can always go back and vote in December after the election.

Lock this thread ffs.
Yeah, but he didn't open it for supreme court justices, at least that is what the Democrats will argue.
You realize that this picture that the left went so crazy over was from when Obama was President, right? It doesn't matter what politician is in charge, they all are terrible and are self-interested.

Why don’t you and the band of gypsies open up your 17ing houses and let them stay there if you don’t like it.
Stealing a SCOTUS seat was a really despicable move
And now they're getting the payoff. No way his seat doesn't get taken by an extremist, so they can go after Roe v Wade. Pretty gross day.

I try my best to stay neutral publically (as a pastor), but I'm curious how do you think they are stealing a SCOTUS seat?
Stealing the seat?
people got to vote on who would replace Scalia. Basically the people voted on it. It wasn’t a pick that was made by a lame duck pres who was already calling the moving trucks.
The people knew knew what was at stake and they voted

Not this one - Gorush.
Republicans refused to even give Merrick Garland a hearing, waited until Obama was out of office to allow the seat to be filled. Sets an absolutely horrible precedent.

That's not how it's supposed to work.
Republicans just decided that no one could stop them, so they did it. Now, next time a SCOTUS member steps down or dies, if the white house and congress are different parties, they can just hold the seat empty for as long as they want.

I also try to stay out of the fray, but I think he's referring to Mitch McConnell's efforts to block Obama's nomination after Justice Scalia's death during the waning days of the administration.
