Reporter democrats see this as some measure of pay back for republicans refusal to consider president obamas peck for the court, garland. But republicans have a plan b, the Nuclear Option. A change that many in both parties are reluctant to see happen. That means the judges are going to be more id logical, not idealogical, not less. The Nuclear Option would mean that which ever Party Controls the white house would have more power to nomination justices from this point forward. This has been building up for years. All i can say is what Goes Around Comes Around. Reporter what Goes Around Comes Around. And that is what has prevented the deployment of the Nuclear Option for so long.
