I agree. The filibuster is extra-constitutional.

In the article about Harry Reid -- who in 2013 eliminated the filibuster for presidential appointments, except to Supreme Court

Elena Kagan is the most recent appointee and that in 2010. Rest assured that Reid would have included SCOTUS judges if he had had one to appoint.

Reid was the Senate Majority leader from Jan 2007 to Jan 2015.

...except to Supreme Court

The MSM is really pushing this steaming pile of BS. Harry Reid used the term "judicial," which doesn't stop at the Court of Appeals.
