Republicans claim they must change the rules because Democrats are obstructing nominees. This is false. The Senate has confirmed far more nominees in President Trump’s first two years than it did in President Obama’s first two years.pic.twitter.com/XTYPtz3uvQ

Not only have a large number President Trump’s nominees been confirmed, but they’ve been confirmed twice as fast as President Obama’s were. This rules change is merely the latest attempt to stack the federal bench with young, conservative ideologues.

Since these appointments were made by a president installed by an enemy government, can they be considered an act of war and rescinded?

We see it! It's clear the less qualified, more extremist they want. Mitch McConnell will do anything for power even if it hurts the country.

How can you stop it? And how can they get away with every dirty angle? I mean everything rotten is a go and anything correct and good is a full stop. Can’t anyone stop this fire?

Then STOP THEM! That’s why we elected you- guts and experience. Get back to us when you have an action plan we can help with: calls, emails, texts, marches, sit ins, etc. you must take the gloves off and fight fire with fire

Call your Senators and tell them you oppose this move to override regular order. There isn't a way for Senate Democrats to stop
@senatemajldr & the@SenateGOP from running roughshod over our governmental norms. Only their constituents can stop them by calling.
