Wow good thing the democrats never did this at any point in the last two fucking decades. It would have been such a divisive move. So good they didn’t sink to this level. Who knows what sort of hand-wringing that would have wrought.

Say what you want about republicans...
What rules did they change specifically, and how were they able to do that?
From the article they made it possible to process them in groups. Before, it was one nomination at a time and the senate dems were slow rolling it to stall out the process. Now the repubes can approve groups of them.
I read that, just curious how and why were they able to process a group without the dems slowing down atleast the group hearing
Found this in an AP news article:
The new rules allow Senate Republicans to move multiple nominees with a simple majority vote — a process that would have previously been blocked with just one objection. The rules don’t apply to judicial nominations or high-level Cabinet posts.
