Learn from your rival's mistakes, or else

Back in 2013, the then Dem controlled Senate used the so called nuclear option, in a vote 52 to 48, to require only a majority vote to end a filibuster of all executive and judicial nominees, excluding Supreme Court nominees, rather than the 3/5 of votes previously required. Then in 2017, the Rep controlled Senate did the same, in a vote 52 to 48, to require only a majority vote to end a filibuster of Supreme Court nominees. Just to remind, 60% supermajority is still required to end filibusters on legislation.

Now the GOP is going to make the same mistake the Dems made...
