“If the GOP expands its Senate majority, judicial nominations should easily sail through.”
I’m not sure how that works. Is it even possible to get enough of a majority to overcome the so-called 30 hr rule, where Senators have to debate each candidate for 30 hrs before they can vote, if any other senator insists on it?

More GOP senators means swing senators won’t hold a veto and Democrats can’t block a vote.

I think a majority can change the rules.

A simple majority can nuke the 30 hour rule at any time, just like they nuked the cloture rule and the blue slip rule.
The only reason it’s still there is because of RINOs.
