(Thanks Mitch. Now the Democrats know they will suffer no consequences for their behavior. Playing nice with the Democrats never works. You will always be the loser. Wanna bet the democrats re-institute the majority rule as soon as they get back into power)
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he will not lower the 60-vote threshold for passing legislation in the Senate next year if the GOP wins the majority in November.
“I do not favor turning the Senate into a majoritarian institution, even though we would probably have some short-term advantage for doing it,” McConnell said Thursday at a forum hosted by the American Enterprise Institute.
Senate Democrats earlier this year changed the rules of the Senate so that only 51 votes, not the typical 60, are needed to confirm executive branch and judicial nominees.
