McConnell Threatens to Bring Democracy to United States Senate

Harry Reid is making threats (probably, alas, not backed by enough of his perenially self-interested caucus) to change the rules to stop Senate minorities from denying the president the ability to staff the judicial and executive branches.   Mitch McConnell is responding with a threat to…make the rules even better:

Today Mitch McConnell responded with a threat of his own: If Reid does that, whenever McConnell gets the majority, he’ll change the rules to allow a straight majority rule on everything.

All I can say is, that’s even more reason for Senate Dems to invoke the nuclear option.
