Конец филибустера?

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Thursday that Democrats will attempt to filibuster Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination, saying he would tilt the Supreme Court too far away from what Democrats want to see.
“After careful deliberation I have concluded that I cannot support Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court,” Mr. Schumer said, announcing his filibuster on the Senate floor.
Молодцы демократы, стоят насмерть and to hell with reason. Сейчас посмотрим, действительно ли республиканцы – stupid party, потому что не убрать под этим соусом филибустер будет совершенно непростительным идиотизмом.

Date: 2017-03-26 02:13 am (UTC)Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he is confident that he has laid the groundwork for Democrats to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees if they win back the Senate in November.
Envisioning Hillary Clinton in the White House and Democrats controlling the Senate, Reid warned that if a Senate Republican minority block her Supreme Court nominee, he is confident the party won't hesitate to change the filibuster rules again (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/harry-reid-if-gop-blocks-scotus-in-2017-dems-should-go-nuclear-again).
Никаких оснований сомневаться, что демократы, получив возможность, немедленно поступят именно так, у республиканцев не осталось. Зачем же им, спрашивается, портить филибустером жизнь себе?
