Not yet, they haven't. Reid, however, opened the door. Expect Republicans to march through it and push it further open. How times have changed. It wasn't that long ago that Republicans were considering the nuclear option, but democrats had a collective fainting fit over it and they (naturally) caved.It's called good government- majority rules, not 60%. Bring back a real, seldom used filibuster- and some kind of Fairness Doctrine so the dupes can hear the truth a few minutes/hour...Can't do that for SC nominee.the left cant stop anything, Trump will just go with 51 votes
Republican will need 8 Dems to get to 60. It won't happen.
Remember when Harry Reid changed the rules in the Senate so you Democrats could pack the courts with liberal appointees, Hutch? Of course you don't! Well, you were warned back then that it set a dangerous precedent for the future because it would enable Republicans to do the same thing. So thank Dingy Harry for what's happening now.
If you thought it was great when Harry Reid was doing it, Franco...then how could you have a problem with it if Mitch McConnell does it? Oh, that's right...I keep forgetting that you're one of those "Do as I say...not as I do" progressives!
No one has ever used the nuclear option for a SC nominee. False equivalent.
