In a column that needed writing, the Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel twists the knife in the backs of the Dems who criticized Republicans and the changed the rules of Congress to advance their agenda. Since WSJ is a paid site ( Link to WSJ ), I'll provide some selective highlights.

Quote:“Many of us will regret that in this Congress,” a dejected Senator Coons (D-DE) told CNN on Tuesday. “Because it would have been a terrific speed bump, potential emergency brake, to have in our system to slow down the confirmation of extreme nominees.”

Quote:Mr. Coons is regretting giving up his tool to stop Donald Trump’s march of reformers. It’s a cabinet parade of charter-school-lovers, and law-and-order prosecutors and tax-cutters and ObamaCare-slayers, of the sort to give a good Delaware liberal night sweats. There was a day when not one of these nominees could have hoped to squeeze past a Senate filibuster. But Mr. Reid did it his way,...

Quote:Former veep candidate Tim Kaine in October threatened that Republicans would be really, really sorry if they tried use what filibuster tools were left against a Hillary Clinton Supreme Court nominee. If Republicans “stonewall,” then a “Democratic Senate majority will say we’re not going to let you thwart the law,” he declared in October.

Quote:It would be hard to stall the confirmation process, at least after Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s regretful September news conference, the one where she stood tall and hit Republicans for refusing to confirm Mr. Obama’s end-of-the-road nominee, Merrick Garland.

Quote:Mr. Schumer is also regretting those dozen interviews before the election, the ones he gave as he measured his majority-leader office curtains. He explained to Politico that his party was on the verge of electoral dominance and that this meant it would have “a mandate.” He elsewhere warned all those mulish Republicans that they’d have an obligation to work with his world-dominant party.

As someone once said: elections have consequences.

Haha!!!!!!! Just so many recorded proclamations out there of Democrats dominating the political landscape.......and they were so sure of themselves they laughed and ridiculed anyone questioning it... Too funny.

They might have been laughing in the 57 counties Hillary carried but the rest of the 3,084 Counties in America weren't laughing.

I hope they go full throttle and finally actually do every single one of these and put an end once and for all to the government overreach that has dominated and destroyed America since the New deal and (Not so) Great Society. Dems need to go back to being the party of John Kennedy instead of the party of Karl Marx to have a chance.

Hillary won a lot more than 57 counties.

In Trump's America, counties are more important than people.

You said it right, "Trumps America". Thanks for nominating Killary.
