Even you must know that once you break the seal you'll be making return b-room visits often. Reid put the Senate on the path when he busted the super-majority Senate rule.Doncha hate when stupid Dem policies come back to bite them in the buttocks?Newsweek is wrong. by blocking Obama's nomination and by lowering the standard to allow a 50% + 1 majority to confirm a SC justice, the Senate already destroyed that notion.
Nuclear option - Wikipedia
In November 2013, Senate Democrats led by Harry Reid (D, NV) used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations...
You've been told a lie if you believe Reid did that. Reid changed the rules that effected the lower court judge process. That didn't include SC nominees. Mitch dropped that nuke.
What goes around comes around. The only nuke left to drop will be the 60 vote Cloture rule on Legislation.
