So, the Harry Reid “simple majority” “nuclear option” rule in the Senate has been returned to the old “gotta have 60 votes”. In other words, chicken shiite Senate Majority leader McConnell went back to the old rules.
IF this was Reid’s control and they wanted this— the 51 simple majority would make it the law. Period.
This is chicken crap... keep the same rules.. Mitchy ole boy— we WON the Senate and the House. Scaredy cat Mitch.

I think that was only for appointees.

I was wondering about that also. If 51 is good enough for Reid, what’s wrong with McConnell?

the 51 simple majority would make it the law. Period.Except, if the threshold was 51, there wouldn't be 51 GOP votes for it.
