After we get the up-down vote on these first candidates, and then they threaten filibuster again, can we not go nuclear for the same reason we were going to this time, but with these judges confirmed?
What is the big deal?
We no longer have 50 votes (plus Cheney) to go "nuclear" if we ever did. Those 7 dunces just pledged to NOT vote for the "nuclear" option and to allow the Democrats to fillibuster nominees they (the Dems) find extreme. That is the BIG DEAL.
