The leading majority leader of the Senate Harry Reed (D -NEV) bombed the first “nuclear option” in the Senate in 2013, curbing filbuster to confirm the executive sub -candidates – with the exception of the Supreme Court.
The former majority leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) ignited the second “nuclear option” in 2017 to confirm the Supreme Court Judge Neil Jorsh, and lower the filbuster tape for nominations to the Supreme Court.

Now, the majority leader of the Senate John Thun (RS.
Thnee will follow the play book Red and McConnell to change the Senate (not changing the rules) to accelerate the assertion of the minimum levels of the groups. This plan will not include judges or cabinet secretaries.

Things put the maneuvering in the movement tonight by submitting a decision to accelerate a list of about 40 candidates. By virtue of the rule, the Senate will receive a procedural vote to break a stake in its decision to confirm the group of candidates on Thursday. Who needs 60 years. The Senate will not get 60 years.
But this is exactly the scenario that Thun wants.

The world currency in the Senate is an unlimited discussion. But the only time that something cannot be discussed when a problem fails. So the failed vote for fracture of the villain supports the Senate in the exact parliamentary gunman that Thun wants.
At the end of the call voting, Thne is likely to switch his vote from yes to no on filbuster. This is because the rules of the Senate allow the Senator to demand a re -vote if they are on the prevailing side of the case. In this case, Thne is suddenly with “Noes”, although it was initially voted yes to break the filibuster.
By doing this, Thne can then request a re -vote. Since the Senate in this unique position on not allowing any discussion, the Democrats are paralyzed. They cannot do anything to stop Thne, which is planned after that.
Thune will then make the system point.
Thun will confirm that in a decision like the decision he drafted, a bloc of minimal candidates (for example – those before the Senate) does not need 60 votes to break philosophy. President-Senate Speaker Pro Timpur Chuck Grassley or even Vice President Vice, Senate-until Thne is wrong. Senate and race rules require 60 votes to break a share in this type of decision.

Thun will then demand a vote that turns his ruling on the president. It will confirm that the vast majority is necessary for this type of decision – although this was not before.

The Senate will vote. If 51 Senate members vote in favor of the ruling against the president, the Senate will have established a new precedent to reduce the threshold from 60 to 51 on this type of decision – to quickly move a group of candidates at the same time.
Once the Senate thus, Thne will need to create another procedural vote under the new provisions of Filibuster on Monday, September 15. This would enable the Senate to confirm all concerned candidates – in a suburb – on Wednesday, September 17.
