The greatest pleasure I know is
to do a good action by stealth,
and to have it found out by accident.

@Pudingtane @FoxNews You are forgetting the Gang of Fourteen (2005) whereby a bipartisan group agreed to allow certain nominations to reach the floor.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
@Pudingtane @FoxNews No, the Constitution does not require a super-majority of Senators for approving SCOTUS nomination. But the Senate has its own rules.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
It's time for the Senate GOP to go nuclear and strip use of the filibuster to block the confirmation of Gorsuch. It's a double-edged sword.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
@Pudingtane @FoxNews I don't watch Fox News; the point is that the Constitution allows the Senate to set its own rules. "Filibuster" is not in the Constitution.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
Sadly, there no longer are Democrats willing to sustain the Gang of Fourteen. The Democrats have now abused the filibuster 1 time too many.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
@Pudingtane @FoxNews I'm not in favor of the application of the filibuster to SCOTUS nominations. But under current Senate rules, it's allowed. That's fact.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
The Democrats are guaranteeing the loss of the filibuster on judicial nominations & will lose Senate seats in 2018. "Senate Democrats"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
I generally don't support the loss of minority privileges in the Congress, but the Dems have abused that privilege on judicial nominations.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
@Pudingtane @FoxNews Any reasonable interpretation of the "60 vote lie". Under current rules (which I think will change this week), they can block a floor vote.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
The Democrats lost my support over Bork. They now earn my contempt by blocking Gorsuch. They will now lose their influence on the courts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
The Democrats are playing with fire, and they will get burnt. Without the threat of a filibuster, Trump can nominate more principled judges.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
If this Dem madness over Gorsuch has to do with Garland, keep in mind Garland would have lost a floor vote, never mind a filibuster.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 3, 2017
