Neil gorsuch chair is donald trump Australia Beck for the Supreme Court and he is now as good as confirmed but not before there was plenty of drama and what is being called the Nuclear Option. Republicans needed 60 votes to pass the nomination. They could not get them. So they changed the rules. To needing just 51. Asimple changed the rules. To needing just 51. A simple majority. 52 republicans in the senate so once the rules are changed its a done deal and we expect the vote later in the week. This is the reaction of a senior democrat.
