Good luck.

Good luck.
Because then no-one would ever get appointed without a 60-vote supermajority, at least to the SC (lower courts are less contentious, as the numbers on both Garland and Gorsuch reflect). We've crossed that rubicon of sensibility now.
Frankly nuking the filibuster is better, just hold off on it until the Democrats come back.
White House is getting their info late because Nunes isn't sprinting between buildings fast enough.
I'd put the President pretty low on the list of reliable sources, for starters.

I mean even Obama voted for Roberts and Breyer and Ginsburg were both close to unanimous I think. Gorsuch here is special because of the seat being stolen, I don't think he'd have a hard time if this was a normal situation.
Which is otherwise known as very, very good.This seems Bad for Trump.

So are the Koch brothers now an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation?
It feels really weird to be... actually somewhat appreciating them right now. Ugh...

They're pro-criminal justice reform because "small government." Which... actually makes sense.

From what I've seen gorsuch should get confirmed but that kind of obstruction can't stand

Fall in line was never really about votes with in congress.
Fall in line is used mostly to talk about elections and specifically voters falling in line to get their guy elected.
Yeah it's not the best, but who could have guessed exactly how much better the devil you know actually was.

They fall in line if the big mean black man wants something. Everything else and they start to fall apart.

It's got to be this. Trump got dragged into this thing, so now Ryan has to share the embarrassment.

Has there been anything in our history quite like this?
Campaign on something for almost a decade and then fail to implement it when given the chance?

Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is what put the April 15 deadline in.
There are examples of reconcilation bills that have been passed at all times of year though (example), so I don't know how much they care about that deadline or what they lose by not hitting it. I'd guess worse comes to worse it just goes toward the 2019 budget instead of the 2018 one.

Is it always April 15th? When does the reconciliation period open again? I feel like I've seen bills passed under reconciliation beyond the tax day window.
The idea of the Koch Brothers fighting with the Tea Party is giving me the weirdest mix of emotions. Mostly schaudenfraude though
Yup.

Repeal and replace let the GOP promise to keep things like coverage for pre-existing conditions that people want. Ryan and co never planned on actually having to do this stuff.

McConnell is the first one I remember saying it.
Speaking of which, that guy seems pretty cooped up in his shell while all this is going down. Suprising how little he has to say publically.

Because as bad a guy as he is, he's not an idiot. He knows this shit isn't gonna work and he doesn't want his name attached to it any more than it has to be.

What the hell are the GOP going to run on when they don't have hate for Obama to spew every 2 years?
They are causing this themselves because rich people want more money, and they don't want to address the real problems of income inequality, economic and municipal racial discrimination, etc.

Tapper barely made it through that interview with that Moss guy whose son died of a heroin overdose and who previously supported Trump without crying. Poor guy had a pure breakdown on TV (the father, not Tapper).
When does he turn into Aubrey Plaza?
