Not exactly.
The Nuke is a point of order to the VP asking for a rules clarification on filibusters. The VP rules that it can't be used for advise and consent, and the nomination goes to the floor for a vote.
That's the nuke.

NO. I KNOW that's the nuclear option that the Senate has been unwilling to go to. I'm calling this the NUKULAR option that W has enough brass to drop and put the WHOLE senate on notice that they'd better get busy or risk irrelevance like a certain world body we all know and dislike. That's the NUKULAR option, pal.
