Yesterday, the Senate voted to end the first ever successful partisan filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee by the so-called "constitutional," "Reid" or "nuclear" option. In other words, democracy was restored because simple majority rule was restored.

The Republican-led U.S. Senate was poised on Friday to confirm President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick, conservative appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch, providing the president with his first major victory since taking office in January.
President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, is headed for confirmation after Republicans tore up the Senate's voting rules to allow him to ascend to the high court over furious Democratic objections. Democrats denounced the GOP's use of what both sides dubbed the "nuclear option" to put Gorsuch on the court, calling it an epic power grab that would further corrode politics in Congress, the courts and the United States.
Judge Neil Gorsuch is within days, or even hours, of being sworn in as the 113th justice to serve on the nation's highest court. His path to confirmation was relatively short by modern standards - just 65 days.

With Neil Gorsuch's confirmation as the 113th Supreme Court justice expected on Friday, it won't be long before he starts revealing what he really thinks about a range of hot topics he repeatedly sidestepped during his confirmation hearing. In less than two weeks, the justices will take up a Missouri church's claim that the state is stepping on its religious freedom.
Have you ever heard something so ludicrous that it sent you into wheezing, nose-running fits of laughter - until you find out it's true? For me, that moment came when someone suggested that President Trump could potentially be considering a TV personality for the next vacant SCOTUS seat. Sure, Senator Lindsey Graham, in praising the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court by Trump, mentioned something about his fear of who Trump would pick for the seat left vacant by the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia.

President Trump this week will sign an executive order to begin unraveling the Clean Power Plan, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said Sunday, the first step in the lengthy process of dismantling the central piece of former President Barack Obama's climate change agenda. The plan, which would limit carbon emissions from power plants and greatly reduce coal's share of U.S. power generation, was stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court and has not gone into full effect.
Image Judge Neil Gorsuch speaks after President Trump nominated Gorsuch to be an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court at the White House in Washington D.C. on Jan. 31 Schumer said Gorsuch failed to convince him he would be "an independent check on a president who has shown nearly no restraint from executive overreach" or that he would be a neutral justice "free from the biases of politics and ideology".
