President Donald Trump nominates Neil Gorsuch to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat. The nomination sets in motion a blockbuster confirmation process that requires a 60 vote majority in the United States Senate. Because the Republicans hold 54 seats they need 6 Democrat votes. 

The President urges his Republican Senators to trigger the "Nuclear Option" if necessary. The Nuclear Option would require changing the rules of the Senate to require a simple majority - 51 votes - to win Neil Gorsuch's seat on the Supreme Court.
