This is actually a good idea. If the current rules are in place, the liberal judicial and administrative nominations will pass with a coalition of all dems and a few RINO’s like Grahm, McCain, Murkowski, ect. Changing it back to 60 makes sure some conservatives have to be on board with any nomination.

False.
Nominations have to go through the Judiciary Committee.
They’ll be stopped there- at least the worst will.

Exactly - unless we get a Republican president in ‘16 it doesn’t make any sense to keep it the way it is now.
