[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4826597, member: 24302"] We are learning things today. Reid lowered the requirement for ALL Federal judicial picks and administration staff from 60 to 51 votes. Was known as the "nuclear option." But it didn't affect SCOTUS nominees. In 2017 Dems filibustered the Gorsuch nomination and McConnell responded with his own nuclear option, removing the filibuster from SCOTUS votes. So there you have it. [/QUOTE]
