Bernie Sanders wants to make sure that James Comey’s replacement is legit. And the best way to do that is make it harder for Republicans to confirm the next FBI director:

At this moment, when there's so much distrust, it would be a good idea for there to be a 60 vote threshold to confirm the next FBI director.

A good idea, huh?

If only you guys hadn't changed the rules…

Maybe you all shouldn't have enabled Reid to change the rules (plenty if Republicans advocated against it)…reap what you sow

“Enabled” is a good word for it.
