Reid Hints at Nuclear Option

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that “unless nominations start moving swiftly through the Senate, another round of dramatic rules changes may be in the offing,” Roll Call reports.

Said Reid: “All within the sound of my voice, including my Democratic senators and the Republican senators who I serve with, should understand that we as a body have the power on any given day to change the rules with a simple majority, and I will do that if necessary.”
