Shortly after Amy Coney Barrett<\/a>\u00a0was confirmed to the\u00a0 U.S.\u00a0Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, Democrats warned Republicans that they would regret their decision to hold a vote\u00a0so closely to an election.<\/div>\n

“The Republican majority is lighting its credibility on fire … The\u00a0next time the American people give Democrats a majority in this chamber, you will have forfeited the right to tell us how to run that majority,” Senate Minority Leader\u00a0Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said during a floor speech Monday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

“My colleagues may regret this for a lot longer than they think,” he added.<\/p>\n

Nominees once needed 60 votes to be confirmed,\u00a0but Sen.\u00a0Mitch\u00a0McConnell changed the standard in 2017\u00a0to allow for a simple majority. That move allowed for the confirmation of President Trump’s previous two nominees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

Former Senate Majority Leader\u00a0Harry Reid, D-Nev., first eliminated the 60-vote threshold in 2013 to overcome GOP stonewalling of\u00a0President Obama’s nominations to the lower courts and the executive branch. Known as invoking the\u00a0“nuclear option” at the time, Reid kept the higher standard in place for the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The comments by Schumer appeared to be similar to those made by McConnell back in 2013 after the\u00a0Democratic-controlled chamber eliminated the 60-vote threshold.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll regret this, and you may regret it a lot sooner than you think,\u201d McConnell said in 2013, according to the\u00a0Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n
