Neil Gorsuch will be confirmed to the Supreme Court on April 7, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell guaranteed on Tuesday.
“He’ll be on the floor of the Senate next week and confirmed on Friday,” McConnell told reporters. “We are optimistic that [Democrats] will not be successful in keeping this good man from joining the Supreme Court real soon.”
The cagey Senate majority leader refused to say that he would do it via the “nuclear option” — a unilateral change in rules to kill the Senate’s 60-vote threshold on Supreme Court nominees. But McConnell also declined to rule out whipping 50 of his 52 members to change the rules if Democrats deny Gorsuch the required 60 votes to end a filibuster.

If they have to go nuclear to get it done, that's fine with me.
Just make sure to give credit to Dingy Harry Reid for pushing the envelope.

I'd like to see McConnell call it "the Reid option." :fuelfire:

If I were one of the Dem's grey hairs I would be sweating right now. Old Ruth is looking a little shaky on her pins.

To be honest why don't they just go back to the filibuster. The cloture vote was only intended to end the filibuster. Make them stand up there and talk until they quit talking.

Definitely worthy of a H5!
