True but the Super majority hasn't to my understanding.
The constitution requires a SIMPLE majority vote of 51 votes..
I know that the super majority vote for Judicial Nominations is a relatively new.. within the last 40 years or so..
Can anyone confirm when they enacted the SM for nominations ???
Another relavent issue, were the Dems the first ones to fillibuster judicial nominations? If so, they can't cry about the "nuclear option" because it would only be in response to thier unprecedented action.
