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.

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 …
