Looks like Senator Reid just invoked the nuclear option, removing the filibuster from executive branch nominees and lower court judges while maintaining it for Supreme Court nominees and legislation.
This is a massive mistake on his part. It benefits Democrats short term, but when the chamber flips (next year or 10 years from now), it will be ugly.
Very short sighted and selfish decision by the Senate Majority Leader. This is going to end up being pretty destructive.
