Republicans Go 'Nuclear'

Republicans just changed Senate rules to push a vote on Neil Gorsuch, after Democrats pulled off the first-ever partisan filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee.

Republicans triggered the so-called nuclear option by a vote of 52 to 48 Thursday afternoon. The rule change means Supreme Court nominees will now be confirmed by a simple majority, without ever needing to garner 60 votes for cloture, which ends debate.
