Not a single democrat will for for a trump SC nomination, and thats a payback for what was done to ObamaOnly in your fantasy world. Nuclear option could be used, but there are too many Dems in purple States that know which way the wind is blowing.not so easy, there are also "holds" which can stop a nominationWatch what?Watch.There is no nuclear option, republicans need 60 votes which they will never get
- Senator McConnell will propose proceeding on a vote to confirm the nominee.
- The presiding officer (one of the Republican senators, serving as president pro-tem) would rule that he is out of order as 60 votes are required for cloture.
- Senator McConnell would then appeal his ruling. An appeal of a ruling of the presiding officer is voted on without debate and by simple majority.
- The 52 Republican senators would vote to overturn the ruling of the presiding officer, and then vote to confirm the justice.
