Republicans could appeal the decision. Fortunately, thanks to the band of 14 senators from both parties, to trigger the nuclear option was not fired. But the nuclear option, despite a republican discourse in this regard. Ready for new nuclear option. Maybe the Republicans blink first. Think of the obstruction is so difficult?

This was when the Democrats hold on to the filibuster as a bulwark against a Republican majority too far and proclaimed the sanctity of majority voting.
