WARNING for Schumer 'Republicans made this mistake and gained NOTHING', McCarthy says
from THE DAILY BRIEF · host Josh
McCarthy argues that the mistake was made by Republicans in 2017 when they used the "nuclear option" to lower the vote threshold for Supreme Court nominations from 60 votes to a simple majority (51 votes). While it allowed them to confirm conservative justices like Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett with a simple majority, McCarthy claims that they "gained NOTHING" in terms of broader legislative goals or lasting political advantage because Democrats simply adopted the same rule for their own nominations later.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
