This makes me half wonder whether Democrats might “exercise the nuclear option” and eliminate the need for a supermajority on cloture votes, on the pretext that Republicans are blocking “the will of the voters,” if litigation long continues. Well, at least the onus for such a power grab would be on the Rats, even if Republicans gave them the idea several years back. It would certainly guarantee the Rats’ ability to ram through a second Nude Eel.
