IF KAVANAUGH MAKES IT, thank Harry Reid and the Dems who tried to filibuster Gorsuch. “What if Schumer had backed down, allowed Gorsuch to be confirmed, and the filibuster was still intact for Supreme Court nominees right now? Lefties at the time howled that a ruthless operator like McConnell would have just nuked the filibuster for the current nominee if it had come to that. But Cocaine Mitch doesn’t rule by fiat. He would have needed 51 votes to change the rules and eliminate the filibuster — and under the current circumstances, those 51 votes would have been next to impossible to get.”

Yes, but the #Resistance demanded a really stupid, futile gesture, and the Senate Democrats were just the folks to do it.
