Not a mention of the constitutional option (nuke option). This must be done now. Waiting will be the biggest mistake the Republicans ever made.

Wasn't Graham and DeWhine part of the gang of 14?

They changed their minds?

This must be causing Ried heart palpatations.

"Not a "mention of the constitutional option (nuke option).

But Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, fired back Sunday, saying that if the Democrats staged a filibuster against Judge Alito or Judge Luttig because of their conservatism, "the filibuster will not stand."

--snip--

The Republicans have a majority of 55 senators. If three or more Democrats break from the group to support a filibuster, Mr. Graham and Mr. DeWine could give the Republicans enough votes to force the rule change.

What do you think the above sentences mean?

If it is even necessary...I think the filibuster can be broken on votes. It will take 5 crossover Democrats to do so.
