C10-4
According to this Politco article, Trump as well as a few Republican Senators, are threatening to shoot down any filibuster for Supreme Court. Which will obviously infuriate the Democratic Senators who are salty that Obama couldn't appoint someone instead. Trump says that he would want Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnel to use the "nuclear option" if Democrats block his SCOTUS pick. This will change the Senate rules on a majority vote. Which will make it easier for future presidents to confirm non- mainstream nominees, or wildcard nominees and "potentially leading to the death of the 60-vote threshold for legislation."(Politico). It hasn't even been a week of Trump's presidency, and he's already trying to change the way the Senate has worked for basically all of America. Heavens help us all.
"I don't know what's happening"- possibly Donald J Trump
