Warner on Gorsuch: If GOP Change the Rules, They Will Do ‘Great Damage’ to the Senate

‘His answers were extraordinarily evasive’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "Isn’t there a big risk, though, for Democrats in following what Chuck Schumer laid out which would be a filibuster strategy that could result in a rule change by the Republicans?"
WARNER: "I think that a rules change in the Senate, when you’re talking about Supreme Court judges or for that matter legislation, that the Senate is different from the House because they’ve had that 60-vote margin. I think either political party — we had power for a while, Republicans have power, this is going to go back and forth. But I do think we do great damage to the institution if anybody were to change that filibuster rule. If there’s a way to avoid that, I would like to be part of it."
