GOP considering changing the hours of debate from 30 hours to 8 hours for nominees, changing the rules through the “nuclear option” of 51 votes needed to pass the rules change instead of 60.

This is because of the historical obstruction of Trump’s nominees by the Dem Senators.

Seems like a good idea right now, but the same rules will apply when the Dems are back in power. They need to think about this.
