re: Harry Reid's nuclear option to appoint Federal judges pays off.

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.

At the time, he didn't need it and it wasn't on the horizon. He wanted to get those D.C. Circuit Court far left whackjobs put on the bench.
If Odummy gets another change to appoint a SCt. justice, you know damn well he'll get the rank and file in line -- just like he did for the appellate bench.
