So this is the same vote they have always used. It will obviously fail because of the democrat filibuster. After that the nuclear option is likely to be deployed. Probably later today or tomorrow since they are going on recess after this week. Should be a fun day. lol

You guys are assuming the left is ever able to take power again. And that they don't stock the court with young right wings for the next few decades.
I have a much less optimistic view of the future than the "the dems will retaliate" crowd. A stacked court is going to reliably screw voter rights, campaign finance laws, etc the more we lose, the hard it's going to be to move the country back. --- "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali ...

We're making a lot of assumptions on the death of a liberal justice in the next 3 years. 2. If the filibuster wasn't overridden this time, it would be overridden the next.

Were they ideologically against Garland?
