No more judicial fillibuster

Republicans and the filibuster are like someone who treats free samples like an all-you-can-eat buffet and is then offended when the rules change.

There is much amusement to be had in Freepers' revenge fantasies and in their apocalyptic prophesies.

TurboZamboni - its all public referenda now!

225 years -we had a pretty good run as a republic. now we’re a pure democracy(mob rule)

AngelesCrestHighway simultaneously thinks Democrats are desperate and wildly successful.

It's desperation time for democrats!...All in for Socialism!

SoFloFreeper sees parallels to fiction, natch.

Reminds me of the Star Wars story, when the Senate agrees to give Palpatin “emergency powers” to essentially bypass the legislature.

That is what these fascists have done, and their sycophants in the media applaud.

SoFloFreeper's fantastic view of reality includes how there will by martyrs again.

Criminalization of Christianity is on the agenda. Oh, there will still be churches, but only ones approved by the state.

And watch out if you dare to have a Bible study in your home

Robert Teesdale just relaxes in the knowledge that Civil War 2 is accomin'

Fascism on the march

Not really. Just accelerated resolution of the overall cultural problem.

eartick is fucking ready. And I think a bit aroused...

My powder is dry and my lead is hard....

Bring it you brown shirt Obama voters. This country boy got something for you.....

riri has decided there are no real elections anymore.

Mark my words, they brazenly steal every election they need in 2014. No one stops them or, even acknowledges it happens. They'll allow the Republicans to take a few.

They have zero intention of relinquishing power, that is not what this move was about.

Colonel_Flagg is optimistic. Really optimistic:

President Cruz will have work to do in 2017. Hopefully a conservative Senate will be able to help him along.

freeangel blames Speaker of the House Boehner for being gay with Obama:

Hey, boner—hear that? THIS is what happens when you spoon with the enemy.

Cheerio expects actual, FDR-style court-packing.

Here we go - watch little Barry appoint 5 new LIBERAL Supremes, make it a 10-4 SCOTUS. Nothing in the Senate will stop little boy king barry.

The country is over and anyone who doesn't believe this has his head in the sand.

conservativehistorian is really angry the GOP didn't go full tantrum.

If the Republican Senators had any guts, they would en mass walk out and boycott all Senate business. One R senator could be let behind to prevent unanimous consent.

As the United States descends further and further into socialist anarchy, the Republican party displays both its impotence and stupidity. Waiting until November 214 or 2016 is too late. The United States as we loved it will be a distant memory by then!

longtermmemmory knows what this really is about:

the republican leaders WANTED THIS or it would have been stopped.

This is to pass illegal alien AMNESTY

This is to attack the conservatives

This is to protect the senate country club.

Secret Agent Man counsels firing everyone.

I think the Republicans need to remember with a House and Senate under their control, they ought to do the following:

1. Put the nuclear option back in the senate, for all judges and all appointments.

2. Write a law to fire all Obama appointees and judges except SCOTUS justices. They have oversight. Congress created and controls the lower courts. Open up all these appointees and judgeships for a Republican president to nominate and fill.

cotton1706 - McCain's efforts to compromise back in the Bush admin is because he's a liberal plant:

McCain’s goal all along was to prevent a CONSERVATIVE president from getting his judicial nominees through. He’s all for getting a LIBERAL president’s nominees through.

INVAR explains how its all over.

Elections are DONE. OVER. What remains is an illusion of choice to placate you.

The rule of Law is DONE. We’ve seen this now for the last 5 years - the law can and will be changed arbitrarily to suit the needs of the MarxoFascist agenda.

If you people continue to hand onto a corrupted ideal that our electoral process and institutions are still a means to hold tyranny at bay - then I submit you are LOST to delusion.

Just remember this fact of history - once Marxists have achieved total power in key places - GENOCIDES happen of political enemies of the regime.
