'Nuclear option' could prevent Dems from blocking Kavanaugh

Sep. 28, 2018 - 2:57 - Democrats established new Senate precedent known as the 'nuclear option' in 2013 to get around Republicans blocking Obama administration nominees; senior Capitol Hill producer Chad Pergram explains.

Not new.

It's Republicans who are 'blocking' the nuclear option at this time!

Jeff Flake, Collins, Murkowski ...

The nuclear option is a simple majority as in 51 votes and we can't get there without them.

Now that McCain has been replaced with Kyl, they only need two of those three. If a Dem flips (and there's speculation about Manchin), it's down to one.
