WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has moved to change the rules of the Senate to confirm Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court.

If successful, the motion would remove a 60-vote filibuster requirement for Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch and all future high court nominees.

The Senate is expected to vote soon on the motion, which is dubbed “the nuclear option” because it could change the Senate and the court for generations.

McConnell raised a point of order to change the rules “under the precedent set on Nov. 21, 2013,” when then-majority Senate Democrats made the same move for lower court and executive branch nominations.

The chamber is now voting on motions called by Democrats as a delaying tactic.

After the rules change, Gorsuch is expected to be confirmed Friday.
