Sen. Lindsey Graham signals support for nuclear option if Democrats filibuster Gorsuch vote

(CNN)Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday he would be willing to use the so-called nuclear option if Democrats filibuster President Donald Trump's pick for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch.

Senate rules currently require 60 votes for Gorsuch's nomination to be approved. Changing those rules using the nuclear option would require only a simple majority.

"Whatever it takes to get him on the court, I will do," the South Carolina Republican told "The Mike Gallagher Show," when asked about the nuclear option.

    No! You don't change the rules for one person or issue. Graham wants the rules changed and that's the bottom line. He is more than willing to suffer through a conservative SC Justice in order to use that rule in the future to gain Democrats control.

    We're not that stupid. After a filibuster and all those questions, answers, and speeches, the TRUTH will be left exposed, and any Dem voting against a purely honorable man will just be showing their colors more brightly for the next election cycle.

    Let her rip, 'Tater chip!

    The Republicans need to go back to how things were done on the floor in the old days, and beat the living crap out of Chuck Shumer!
