Wiki, but is it not true? And assume I’ve googled before I post. Guess you don’t?
But like Ty said maybe Reid has a crystal ball and knew what McConnell would do someday? Ty, is that what your point was?

Apparently the problem wasn't Googling, it was reading (or comprehension) or something:
Quote:
In November 2013, Senate Democrats led by Harry Reid used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments, but not for the Supreme Court.[1] In April 2017, Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell extended the nuclear option to Supreme Court nominations in order to end debate on the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.[2][3][4]
As of September 2020, a three-fifths majority vote is still required to end debates on legislation
