Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell deployed the so-called "nuclear option" Wednesday by changing the Republican-controlled chamber’s rules to speed approval of President
Donald Trump’s nominees who have been slow-walked by Democrats.

"It is time for this sorry chapter to end," said the Kentucky Republican, who noted the new rules will apply to future nominees by the president. "It’s time to return this body to a more
normal and reasonable process for fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities, no matter which party controls the White House."

Under new rules approved in a pair of 51-48 votes, debate time on the Senate floor for lower-level administration nominees and U.S. district court judges will be cut to two hours from
30 hours. Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Mike Lee of Utah voted with Democrats against changing the rules.

McConnell said the move is needed to allow Trump to staff his government. It will help McConnell fill scores of open judgeships -- a top priority -- without having to use months of the
Senate calendar. The GOP is leaving unchanged the requirement of 30 hours’ debate for Cabinet-level appointments, other senior appointments and higher court nominees.

Okay; then lets abuse it afterward to unfuck everything the Republicans have done and enshrine them as law. Vote them out of power; watch them wiggle and whine.

I wish people cared more about congressmen. I want future generations to pass down the story of what a dickhole this guy is.

[Doom64hunter]

The Democrats have repeatedly proven to be spineless worms and will do no such thing.

Bernie is against removing the filibuster

[XLVII]

Dont just do that. They are traitors, take their assets, investigate and charge them, make examples of them. Leave them with nothing but misery. So they know how not worth it it was to betray your country to a foreign enemy.

Old fucking assholes making the world they will soon to leave a worse place. Fuck them completely.

Mitch McConnell needs to find the nearest open grave and take a nap in it.
