Preparing the “nuclear option” - Driving the home today, I heard Harry Reid on the Ed Schultz radio show bitterly complaining how the Republicans were about to overturn 200 years of Senate rules. He was, of course, talking about how the Republicans are preparing to make a rule change to overcome the Democrats’ filibusters on judicial nominees. It seems that Chuck Schumer and the Donks suddenly discovered a clause in the Constitution that allows for filibusters where none existed before. Now they’re outraged that the GOP would overturn their extra-Constitutional maneuver with another parliamentary maneuver.
