Paul Kane April 3 at 6:59 PM Senate Republicans unilaterally changed the rules Wednesday governing presidential nominations, a bitter escalation of the long-running dispute over the rights of the minority in a chamber once hailed for its bipartisan nature.

Yet if he determines that some information within it…

Senate Republicans on Wednesday used a controversial procedural tactic called the “nuclear option” to change the chamber’s rules to make it easier to confirm lower-level Trump nominees.

As the press gives more attention to the mounting accusations against former Vice President Joe Biden for inappropriate touching, it is only doing more to confirm all of the suspicions that conservatives have about liberal media bias.

However, there is nothing particularly…
