Today, raw political power has been exercised to break the rules and
norms of this body so that a nominee could be confirmed. The only way
that he could be confirmed was, in fact, to wreck the rules, a nuclear
option that will have enduring fallout and rippling repercussions,
perhaps for years come. For myself, I would state unequivocally that I hope we will work
together on issues where we have common ground, where we can reach
common solutions on infrastructure, on tax reform, on immigration
issues. No one should make light of the potential fallout, as there is in any
nuclear explosion, from this action today. The Senate has broken with decades of bipartisan practice when it
comes to the U.S.
