{UAH} Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to rewrite the rules.

He likely doesn't have the votes he needs to stop debate and hold a vote on Judge Neil Gorsuch, so this week, he's threatening to "go nuclear" -- a move that could change the way the Senate votes on Supreme Court nominees forever.

It's a reckless tactic. And it would be invoked in support of a nominee for a seat that was stolen from President Obama's nominee, Judge Merrick Garland. Once again, they are threatening to change the rules in the middle of the game for partisan reasons. By moving forward with the nuclear option, Senator McConnell would be threatening to ruin the checks and balances that have protected the Supreme Court nomination process for decades.
