They're Begging For It

For four years now, Democrats have been abusing Senate rules to obstruct judicial nominations. It cost their leader his job. But they're threatening to resume their childish misbehavior when the new Senate convenes.
Republicans are conisdering the so-called "nuclear option" that would circumvent Senate rules (not any real law on the Constitution) and bring judicial nominations to a up or down majority vote - which in no way conflicts with the original intent.
Democrats are hopping mad at the prospect. But, they once did exactly the same thing when they were in charge. And somehow, the republic survived.
