While the Democrats threaten to filibuster President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch the Nuclear option is being considered yet I believe a less explosive option should be considered. The nuclear option would allow the Senate to confirm Trumps pick for the Supreme Court with only 51 votes, which is exactly what the Republicans have in the senate plus one, instead of the 60 currently agreed upon. I say compromise in the middle and make it 54. Allowing the number to be 54 would mean that two Democrats would have to vote in favor of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and with many of their seats up for competitive elections in 2018 I believe 2 would make the switch. If of course the two Democrats decided not to vote in favor of the nominee then the Senate could go nuclear but at least a good effort of bi-partisan compromise could be met first without blowing the whole thing up….yet.
