Y'all do know that the so called nuclear option does NOT apply to SCOTUS appointees, right? For Obama or any President to get one (SC Justice) approved, in case of a filibuster, 60 votes are still needed.
Yeah, and if Obama gets to appoint another SCt. Justice, you can bet your a$$ that Dingy Harry will change the rule to make sure that any far, far, far, far left socialist that Obama wants to appoint will sail through.

The only way Reid could get all the Dems to vote for the new rule was to make sure SC judicial appointments filibustering remained the same (need 60 votes). If that exception was not added, the new rule would not have been passed. Reid has not the clout to get a new rule for SC appointments passed.
