“GOP could nuke filibuster for Supreme Court nominees”

Politico reports.

As I wrote before the election:

If Donald Trump wins, however, expect Democrats and Republicans to reverse roles. If Trump wins and Democrats control the Senate, Democrats could try to keep the seat vacant for up to the full length of his term, pointing to McCain’s and Burr’s comments as reasons to do so. And if Trump wins and Republicans control the Senate, then expect Sen. Mitch McConnell, who had opposed Reid’s efforts to otherwise kill the filibuster, to kill it for Supreme Court nominations as well and push through a Trump appointee.
