Krauthammer Dems ‘Deserve the Blowback’ for Harry Reid Ending the Filibuster

‘I don’t think that Trump and his people are going to allow the filibuster to prevent their nominee for the Supreme Court’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: “No, it’s the only time I will ever say it but it’s true. I mean, and he was warned at the time in 2013 the pendulum will swing. You have abolished the filibuster, I think in the end it’s going to end up being used for the supreme Court as well. I don’t think that trump and his people are going to allow the filibuster to prevent their nominee for the Supreme Court. That’s essentially the big mandate that trump has. And they’re not going to squander it. And I think it’s probably a good idea as a matter of policy. But none the less, it was a kind of vindictiveness on the part of Reid and the Democrats deserve the blow back. I agree with A.B. I think what the Democrats ought to do, you pick one or two nominees. Maybe Pryce at HHS where you have a fight on Obama care, Pruitt on EPA because then you have a fight on carbon. The Democrats will try to turn it into a religious test. Believer in global warming? That’s not the issue. Are you a believer in the Constitution where the E.P.A. Should administer the law and not make it that would be a fight that Republicans, I think, should welcome and would win.”
