What is nuclear option?
-
-
-
Changing Senate rules so SCOTUS judge needs 50+1 votes, not 60. It wd allow partisan judges to B confirmed in the future. Bad for democracy.
-
does that rule change take a 50+1 or 60?
-
I think it requires 51 votes-50+1 means 50/50 in senate + VP. I thought rule changes only happen at the start of a senate session. We'll see
-
Makes sense. hopefully it works out to not suck for democracy

Manchin is a Republican in Democratic clothing.

John McCain is an American Hero who I happen to disagree with but I would never call him a loser for being caught.
