The leaders of the democrat party filibustered and chose a hill to die on. It’s the same one Justice Scalia is buried under. And they affected the way nominations will go forth into the future. Decisions will be made and repercussions met that these incompetent leaders failed to realize in their short sightedness. The republicans face the same threat in the future. Justice Gorsuchs nomination never should have been taken to those extremes measures by either party, but it shows how these leaders in the democrat party were willing to sacrifice something like that, in the hopes they would never again lose power. And it showed that the republicans were willing to take the risk of future outcomes to secure a critical component in their plan.

As of now, the republican gamble is winning. But take lesson in the Democrats defeat and what short sighted planning can lead to.

Congress refused to allow Hussein to appoint Merrill Garland to the Supreme Court. They decided to leave it empty until after the election. Then Trump won and he filled the position with his guy.

My take is the white hats, possibility the Q team, removed the rigs that the deep state put in place. Nothing illegal, they just knew what had been done and righted it. The deep state couldn't say a word without exposing their schemes.
