That’s been the standard since the adoption of the Constitution. If it was a slippery slope, you’d think we would have slipped down it at some point in the past 230 years.

Seems like we're always finding new precedents to set like the "nuclear option" in the Senate. And 230yrs is pretty young for a country.

  The "nuclear option" is just a senate rule. It's not a law, it's not in the Constitution.

  Young for a country, pretty old for the same base set of rules within that country.
