Careful for what you wish for. I can remember when it was Republicans talking about the "nuclear option" to do away with filibusters.

They talked about the nuclear option or the constitutional option because the RATs decided to "threaten" filibuster on judges, in essence making the votes necessary to confirm a judge 60 instead of the simple majority deemed necessary in the Constitution.

THIS discussion is just ANOTHER RAT unprecedented abuse of power by trying to use a simple majority to change the cloture rule, even though current rules state that a 2/3 majority is needed to change Standing Rules.....

Thin McCain and Graham, wh came up with the Gang of 14, so far we have heard nothing from that group.
