      I would support moving it to 55 votes—if Dems agreed to keep that in place. That would be an improvement over a simple majority—& is more likely to be achieved. (There’s nothing magic about the number 60.) https://twitter.com/neilcpa/status/1050044767046750208 …

      What good is an agreement when 51 votes can change it on a political whim?

      An agreement only works if you can trust at least some of the people on the other side to honor it. I would hope there are some senate Dems who care enough about the institution to honor that.

          The trump presidency should have taught you that trust is impossible. The republicans will fall in line with fascism in a heartbeat, even the “moderates”

          You think the people that wouldn't honor this are dems? Are you out of your mind?

          I respectfully refer you to former Senate Majority Leader Reid and the judicial filibuster. Both parties engage in chicanery.

          Which party was filibustering all Obama nominees no matter how qualified? Republicans. Which party has made compromise a dirty word? Republicans. Which party has tried to bend over backwards to compromise? Democrats. Don't both sides this shit.

          Democrats have voted for Trump nominees. McConnell held up all Obama nominees. Acting like this isn't asymmetrical is an insult to people that have brains.

          Do you believe filibusters should be permitted for judicial nominees?

          When it was used for unqualified and problematic judges. McConnell changed it to be any judge from the wrong type of president. So no, there shouldn't be filibusters anymore

          Then judicial nominees should be handled in the House of Representatives since you have just made the Senate a pure simple majoritarian body.
