Every sngle Republican votes for the Reid Rule. So we return to the rules of the Senate pre-2003 when Democrats instituted the need for a cloture vote on judicial nominations. All because Democrats are under the gun by their base to be part of the #resistence. They better hope Ginsburg or Kennedy don't go away while the GOP controls the Senate or the ideolgical balance of the court could be changed without a single Democrat vote. Time will tell whether this was a brilliant strategic move on the part of Schumer or a collossal blunder. As of today it appears to me the latter but we will find out for sure when the next justice is up for a vote.
