Bush had Congress and the Senate in Republican hands at one time and the filibuster was all the Democrats had to stop some of the worst bills and noms

The Republicans always threatened but never used the nuclear option. They wanted too, they threatened, but they didn't. Both sides hate it, but both sides want it for when they are in the minority.

IF you change it, it will come back to bite them in the ass.
