Mitch McConnell lowered the threshold from 60 to 51 for Supreme Court picks. After not considering the last nominees for more than 400 days.

Harry Reid was the one who started the whole "nuclear option" of only needing 51 votes to approve federal judges.  Mitch McConnell only upped the ante to include a Supreme Court nominee, Gorsuch.  So, this crap started with Harry.  He's the one you should be blaming.

Exactly. Repubs just using the precedent and playbook that was put in place by Reid already. If anyone should be mad about this, it should be democrats for Reid putting them in this position.
