McConnell could have changed the filibuster rules on the first day of this session. Instead, he lets the Senate use 30 hours of “debate” for each of Trump’s nominees. The day that the Dems have 51 in the Senate, they will change those rules and they will say something that blames Republicans for the necessity of the rule change. Our Constitution says nothing about 60 votes to pass things in the Senate.

Your post is the best one of this thread.

It needs to be said....60 votes in the Senate is not written in concrete. We just need a majority leader with the guts to shake things up.
