Three years ago next month, Senate Democrats used the “nuclear option” to kill the filibuster for many Senate motions, but they left the option intact for Supreme Court nominees.

The Dems used the "nuclear option", if they filibuster Trump's candidate the Republicans should as well. (If they have any b.lls)

Using the “Nuclear Option” should also be used to bring back the original Fillibuster (extended speech) and end minority dominance.
