Tom Cotton, always a voice of sense.
Via Daily Caller:
Senator Tom Cotton told CNN’s Jake Tapper Tuesday that Republican plans to use the nuclear option will fix a problem that Democrats created.
“Senate Republicans appear poised to trigger what’s called the nuclear option changing, Senate rules to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court requiring 51 votes instead of 60 for cloture,” Tapper first posed to the Arkansas Republican. “Do you worry at all about this rule making, how it might change or alter the character of the Senate?”
“No, Jake, I don’t,” Cotton replied. “For 214 years the Senate had never, not once, in a partisan filibuster defeated a nominee to the courts or the executive branch.”
