That some rich, powerful donors are afraid that the Dems might put a non-corporation loving justice on the court if they gain power. So they told their Senators to bring back the 60 vote threshold. What else could it be? If the dems have the numbers to change the procedure, they have enough votes to block any far-right nominee that Trump could nominate as the rule stands now.

I seriously cannot think of any other reason why they would shoot themselves in the foot like that.
