..."Democrats say using the "nuclear option" would end the Senate tradition of collegiality and paralyze the chamber with partisanship"
The only time there has ever been "collegiality" in the Senate is when the Rep's have given the Democrats what they want. This is a fiction.
Rep's - as usual - have a problem with language. They should never have named this option the "nuclear option." They should have called it the "Senate Rules Change Option."
I think Frist will do it.
The Republicans refer to it as the "Constitutional Option" because it reflects the Constitution. The RATS and the LSM call it the "Nuclear Option" as part of their spin.
