FYI...this article supports your view and makes some good points.

The question is this: Would the Senate Republicans change the rules to prohibit a filibuster of a SC nominee, too?

Here's your answer:

The Senate DEMOCRATS led by Dirty Harry Reid implemented the "nuclear option" in the Senate in 2010 to eliminate the Republican's ability to filibuster ANYTHING in order to pass ObamaCare.

You can bet your ass that Reid and the rest of the Democrats now wish they'd never have done so, as the Republicans in the Senate haven't re-instituted the Fillibuster Rule since winning back the Senate.

The question really is: Will the Senate Republicans keep the filibuster rule in place, or will they bow to the cries of the Democrats and liberal lamestream media once President Trump is sworn in and a Supreme Court Justice is nominated?

My bet: The Republicans once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and re-implement the filibuster rule in the name of "decorum." Trump will have to nominate a "moderate" justice in order to pass muster with the Senate.

I'm bookmarking this post, betting I'm right.
