I dont know how this will play after a i would love to hear by other members of the panel how this will happen to understand specifically how the Nuclear Option would even come into play. What happens on Tuesday Morning if there is no agreement how does it play out . Is the threshold merely lowered from 60 to 50 votes or will all Senate Debate be declared dilatory . Keep in mind two things when you look at this year, two of the biggest thing that happened politically were filibusters. You hear the demonization of the filibuster.
