@waysideollie No, McConnell didn't change the rules. The Senate Majority Leader doesn't have that authority.
Instead, a majority of senators called for the rule change in response to Democrats' own rule changes.
That story is misleading, not reflecting the history of the Senate in important ways involving holding our congresspeople democratically accountable.
@volkris Changing rules/manipulating the system. McConnell is still responsible for the state of our judiciary The GOP has echoed the sentiment.
