| h/t Instapundit Senate Republicans ignited the "nuclear option" to allow confirmation of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee and bar Democrats from blocking future picks, a dramatic rule change that could deepen partisan divisions and put more ideologically extreme justices on the court. The 52-48 party-line vote called for by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday will let the Senate confirm Neil Gorsuch on Friday to take a court seat that Republicans refused to let President Barack Obama fill during his last year in office. |

| #2 ...I don't get it. Schumer's just guaranteed that the next vacancy - the one that really counts - will be a Republican victory. Are the Dems really that self-destructive, or is there some fiendish House of Cards-level plan at work here? Mike |

| #1 Happy to see that McConnell was able to keep his RINOs on the leash. Maybe Ryan could take notes? |
