In my article it talks about the Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell stated that he will be confirmed to the Supreme Court next Friday, "confidently dismissing Democratic efforts to block the nominee knowing the GOP can use the "nuclear option" to get past the Democrats' filibuster if needed." If the nuclear option passes, than the Senate will only need 51 people to over rule the filibuster. Senior Democrats have stated that they hope that not all Republicans back McConnell's use of the nuclear option.

This is related to Ap Government because right now we are talking about the Senate and filibusters. We have also been talking about the nomination process of Neil Gorsuch. We have spent the last couple of days talking about the happenings in the Senate and how it works.

Personally I feel that Neil Gorsuch sounds like a strong nominee and he will do very well constituting the law in the Supreme Court. But think that the nuclear option sounds very unconstitutional. It makes me think that the Republicans don't care about the people who don't want Neil Gorsuch in the Supreme Court because they're just over riding it. Like they don't exist. But if the confirmation process is fairly conducted, and the Republicans find eight Democrats to override the filibuster, then that sounds more American to me.
