Using the nuclear option simply makes for majority rule. Which party is always preaching diversity is important? Why play into their hands? We must play by our rules from now on and make them like it or lump it.

The top rulebook says nothing about 60 votes needed to place a USSC justice. There’s only been a courtesy that extremists aren’t nominated.

If they block a center-right guy while demanding a left-wing kook then drop the courtesy and next nomination send forth the most far right candidate that can get 50 votes and tell them to pound sand.
