Senate Republicans triggered the so-called "nuclear option" in order to block a Democratic filibuster of Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch. It was an outcome neither side wanted, but now the controversial Senate rules change gives the green light for a vote today to confirm Gorsuch by a simple 51 vote majority. Kristen Clarke, the President & CEO of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law discusses the GOP's move to use the nuclear option to clear the way for Gorsuch during Friday's edition of NewsOne Now. _ Hit the thumbs up button if you want to see more content like this.
