    I don't believe the nuke option was ever suggested outside the confines of the judicial nominations.

    You're right, I was overly broad in my words.

    The judicial nominees was certainly the trigger for that threat to be put on the table, but once that threat was in the open there was nothing (except the "gang of 14") to stop the Repubs from hanging that threat over the Dems heads for any future legislation.
    We can only speculate about what effect that had on the following deals and arm-twisting on the floor.
