Cory Gardner "Shakes Up the Senate"

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

The United States Senate changed forever today when Senate President Mitch McConnell invoked the “nuclear option” in order to force through a confirmation vote on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. The Senate couldn’t reach the 60-vote threshold needed to end debate on the Gorsuch nomination, so McConnell just changed the rules and received the full support of his caucus to make it happen.

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) voted in favor of the nuclear option, which reminded us of one of Gardner’s most infamous campaign advertisements from the 2014 election:

Indeed.

  1. Actually, it is not Gardner that shook up the Senate.

    The American voter shook up the political class in November and things are just percolating through the system.

    Some statists, like Schumer are just a little slow to figure it out.

    When they lose more Senators in 2018 they may get a clue, but probably not.

  2. We'll look for you right-wing bitches and stooges to be whining and howling to the moon when later, we appoint Elizabeth Warren — or more likely, a liberal far, far younger, and several of them — to the Supreme Court.

    And you bitches won't be able to do a thing to stop us!

    It's coming, mongrels. Be ready to suffer impotently when it does. Only a matter of time…

    So enjoy your Pyrrhic victory today, but remember: He who has now lived by he sword will most definitely end up dying by it.

    1. I have reasonable confidence that Trump (or Pence) will lose in 1306 days, 9 hours, and 38 minutes, but can the Dems take the Senate in 2018? If so, the sweeter revenge will be the declaration by the new majority that President Trump (or Pence) will have to wait until after the next election to replace any more justices. 

      1. Otherwise known as the McConnell/McCain Rule since, as we all know, Republicans have a deep and abiding respect for rules and traditions. 

        We are therefore bound to not approve any more GOP nominees should we regain the majority.
