Party-line vote against Schumer's "can we just go home" motion.pic.twitter.com/xnYeXAoHu5

McConnell raises a point of order. HERE. WE. GO. NUCLEAR.
-
McConnell: "I appeal the ruling of the chair."
-
McConnell asked the chair whether the 2013 "nuclear option" rule change included
#SCOTUS nominees. Chair said no. McConnell is appealing. -
If a majority of the Senate agrees with McConnell, the rule will change. But, Schumer first asks the Senate to adjourn until 5p.
-
That vote also failed. We are now voting on McConnell's appeal of the decision of the chair.
-
This is the nuclear option. We are here. Here we are.
-
48-52. The decision of the chair does not stand. Nuclear option happened. It now takes a majority to invoke cloture.https://www.buzzfeed.com/emmaloop/senate-democrats-have-filibustered-supreme-court-nominee?utm_term=.bqLAoEy2dl#.yqmz2nm6Ol …

The GOP said on day 1 of Obama presidency their goal was to block everything he did. Even Bernie said he would work with Trump on things.
