As Kyla Campbell reports from our washington, d. C. Newsroom, the result could affect both parties for years to come. Reporter both democrats and republicans could lose their power to delay nominees of a president. When the president nominates somebody for his cabinet or to lead a federal agency, those people need 60 senators to vote in favor of their confirmation. Harry reid is now considering the socalled Nuclear Option which would allow nominees to be confirmed on a simple majority vote of 51. This would brick sharp opposition from republicans who have threatened to block other legislation as a consequence. And these are the same warnings democrats had eight years ago when republicans in charge wanted to change the filibuster rules. We are taking a live look now at the senate floor. We anticipate to hear more from republicans this hour who say president obama tried to pull a fast one with three nominees to lead federal agencies.

I think if there was another person, spanish, white, asian, if they came in the same position they were trayvon was, i think george would have reacted the exact same way. Juror b37 said some members wanted to find zimmerman guilty of something. But she said after hours of deliberating and reading over the law they decided there was nothing to support a different verdict. A woman who is accused of attacking singer Lester Chambers while he dedicated a song to Trayvon Martin is facing charges. 73yearold chammers was performing in hayward on saturday.
