Invoking the nuclear option will be a win for big money and Korporate Amerika and their lackey McConnell. Credit or blame for destroying the intent of our founding fathers that the Senate be the cool-headed deliberative body of the legislative branch rests solely on his shoulders. First by his unprecedented obstruction of lower court judge and executive branch nominations by President Obama which required democrats to kill the filibuster on those appointments to accomplish the day-to-day business of government. Finally by eliminating the filibuster on SCOTUS nominations. This action eliminates the need that the minority party find the nominee minimally acceptable ensuring a SCOTUS that is somewhat balanced and minimally influenced by partisan politics. Of course all republican senators will be complicit in this destruction of the Senate through their votes invoking cloture.
