Nuclear option is obsolete. There’s no point in honoring the rule when Democrats take over the Senate, they will go nuclear on everything.

They should do this immediately and then Remove ALL Democrats from every committee, allow them only 1 member per committee, Tip Oneill would approve.

Hard to imagine they expected a different result than they got. All done for show, apparently. Just killing time and wasting money. That’s all the Senate seems to do.

Don’t ask me why but this is the process they have to go thru to change a rule by a simple majority vote.

Yes, how long and how many senators does it take to make a decision so they can take a vote and move on? Seems like they are instead running out the clock.

The Pubes are cowards for not ramming every nomination through with a simple majority. Why are we stuck with wimpy little Pube cowards!?

Mike Lee is on a personal glorification train. Let’s hope his SC dreams never materialize.
