When Reid changed the rule to the “Constitutional Option” (meaning there is no requirement for anything other than a majority in the Constitution save treaties and impeachment), all GOP voted against and there were 3 demoncrat defections.

Hell, the Constitution doesn’t even require a vote on nominations “Advice and Consent” is not defined and can mean anything the President and his party wants it to.

Senate and House rules are made up nonsense and can be changed anytime.

The Senate has to vote on Deputy Direct of of the FBI?

That’s some BS right there.

Good then Trump can fast track the travel ban to the court and get it overturned.

Graham was just on Fox News and said he would support the nuclear option as a last resort.

And where Graham goes McCain follows.
