Blind partisans no matter which side they are on don't care about the long term consquences they just see what they think will benefit them at the moment. In 2013 when Harry Reid used the nuclear option to get lower court judges and cabinet nominess confirmed on a simple majority instead of the 60 it had been he did so in my view believing the Democrats would keep the Senate in 2014 and the Presidency in 2016 never considering they could lose both which they did and the Republicans took full advantage of Reids actions. Mitch McConnell using the precedent set by Reid did the same thing with Supreme Court Nominees have no doubt the Democrats will take full advantage of that first chance they get. If the Democrats pack the Supreme Court be rest assured the Republicans will do the same when they get the chance and we will be on a never ending game of one upsmanship where the American people are the ones who lose no matter which political party is doing it.
