"Democrats need to use the nuclear option."
"You mean getting rid of the filibuster?"
"Yes, and..."
"You mean getting rid of the filibuster?"

I don’t want to hear about norms, I don’t want to hear about looking forward not back, I don’t want to hear about “bipartisanship”

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.
