Obama has gotten 300 of his judicial nominees confirmed. 300. At the same point in his presidency, george w. Bush got through 35 fewer confirmations than obama to this point. Progress is being made to clear that. We know what to thank for that, right . In november of last year, harry reid triggered the socalled Nuclear Option. He did away with filibusters on most nominations and made it impossible for members of the Minority Party to block the nominations. No more 60 votes. Thats the idea, anyway.

Conservative lawmakers and think tanks. His tweets are such. Shock waves reverberating throughout washington. One member of the Freedom Caucus, ted poe, resigned from the group this weekend. He said the time has come for the caucus to stop saying no all the time. Here he is. Sometimes youre going to have to say yes. So i was not going to vote no because obamacare is now the law of the land. Its a disaster. So i think it was unfortunate that even though changes and we were included, the Freedom Caucus decided that no was going to be the answer. I think at some time were going to have to say yes. Were in power. We need to lead. A key member of the house Freedom Caucus, jim jordan of ohio, says his group did the nation a favor. I think we saved the American People from a bad bill. If anybody should be cheering, it should be the American People. Only 17 approved of this legislation. Lets get back to work and repeal this law. Judge, your take. I think they better do something about this law
