Dem Sen Coons: I ‘Regret’ That We Changed Rules So Filibuster Can’t Be ‘Speed Bump’ on Nominees

by Ian Hanchett

29 Nov 2016

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “At This Hour,” Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that he regretted Democratic rule changes regarding filibusters on nominees “because it would have been a terrific speed bump, potential emergency break, to have in our system to slow down the confirmation of extreme nominees.”

Coons said that thanks to rule changes Democrats made, “The filibuster no longer acts as an emergency break on the nomination –.”

When asked if he regretted that rule change, Coons answered, “I do regret that. I frankly, think many of us will regret that in this Congress, because it would have been a terrific speed bump, potential emergency break, to have in our system to slow down the confirmation of extreme nominees.”

Close enough for government work.

On their own petard and all that. Lends credence to the old saw "be careful what you wish for".
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Indeed. But they wish is was and now they are getting the just desserts of that desire...their own form of democracy, and even more gratifyingly one that they created and foisted off on everyone else, shoved right up their ass, good and hard.

The hilarious thing is that many pundits warned them at the time that they might regret it, but they just ignored the warnings, assuming like it was Holy Writ that Hillary would be the next President and they would never be held to account for their liberal fascism.

Big mistake, that.

Just like Hillary's felonies. Trump said he wasn't going to pursue investigations of her crimes as a goodwill gesture and attempt to heal the divided nation. Then Hillary joined in the attempt to overturn the election and now Trump looks like he's willing to take the gloves off and put her and her felon/rapist husband in prison for the rest of their lives.

Fucking liberal fascists don't know when to quit, do they?

Well, they're going to regret it I believe.

Yep. There was "demographic shift" that was going to insure Democratic Victory for, like, EVAR. We were all going to drift down the River of Brotherhood, singing Kumbaya and talking about free health care, while they passed innumerable bills they'd need to read to find out what was actually in them. Hubris, it's a bitch.

There are no felonies. But Trump has many. So this will buy him time. maybe two years till he has to resign. Then he can go back to the private sector and groping women again.

Attempt to heal a divided nation - that he divided! You couldn't make it up.

The FBI disagrees and the IRS has yet to investigate the numerous Clinton Foundation felonies.
But Trump has many.
Really? Name one. I'm sure the FBI will be interested since they did a thorough background investigation of him when he signed up for election and found exactly nothing. Are you saying you know something the FBI doesn't?
So this will buy him time.
Yeah, eight years.
Then he can go back to the private sector and groping women again.
Well, women who want to be groped by Trump probably ought to be obliged by someone. I volunteer as his proxy.

He's out because he's happily married to one of the most beautiful women in the world who appears to be perfectly happy being groped by The Donald.

He didn't divide anything, the liberal fascists, Marxists and their useful idiots were always in the bag for Hillary. He just fired up middle America's forgotten voters and persuaded them they had a chance to throw water on the Wicked Witch...and they did.

You lose.

The real fun will start when he has a few mayors and college presidents arrested over harboring illegals. And a few liberal groups busted on RICO charges for funding rioters.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
