a start, let's expand
The '''Senate rules change''', and called the "nuclear option," would eliminate the [[filibuster]] in the [[U.S. Senate]] for confirming nominees to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]. Senate Majority leader [[Mitch McConnell]] has promised to do this if, as expected, the [[Democrats]] successfully filibuster nominee [[Neil Gorsuch]] in early April 2017.

[[Republicans]] need 50 votes to accomplish the rules change, assuming Vice-President [[Mike Pence]] breaks the tie in favor of changing the rules.
