Bring it on Barry!
If Republicans win the Senate, the lame duck Democrats will change the rules back and dare the Republicans to employ the nuclear option. You can take that to the bank.
I have to admit that eliminating the filibuster for nominees is providing unanticipated benefits.
Dem Senators from Red/Purple states no longer have the option to act as free-riders on Republican-led filibusters, nor do they have the ability to cast votes for hard-left nominees under the justification that they were just standing up to GOP obstructionism.
Now they’re looking at actually having to defend their votes, on their merits. And for a good number of them going home to a pretty pro-2nd Amendment constituency and explaining why they voted to put an extremist gun-grabber into the position of Surgeon General - where he’s promised to make gun control the public-health issue long demanded by other extremist gun-grabbers - is going to be a pretty uncomfortable experience.
Anything he can do to mess up America, absolutely anything. I expect the bast'd to touch off some nukes on American soil.
Just like the blue/red switch trick -
