Schumer: 'We Democrats Are Not Going to Oppose Every Republican Nominee'

(CNSNews.com) - Democrats have opposed President Donald Trump at every turn, and now they're urging Trump to "simply consult" with them in choosing a Supreme Court nominee who can pass Democrat muster.

In a speech on the Senate floor Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer implored Republicans not to change Senate rules so they can confirm Neil Gorsuch with a simple majority vote, instead of the 60 votes necessary to forestall a Democrat filibuster.

Meanwhile the REPS are shouting from the rooftops that Gorsuch will be confirmed by Friday.  I hope and pray that they have enough votes to do so...a lot of RINO's out there.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.

In other words, they are happy to confirm a nominee that they suggest.   That's very big of them.

By his own words, this is no patriot speaking.

One who loves America would simply say "We will not oppose any person who supports and upholds the US Constitution".
