The WSJ has live coverage of the Senate confirmation fight.  Siobhan Hughes posted about 12:30 pm EDT:

The Senate has gone nuclear, throwing out the 60-vote filibuster threshold on Supreme Court nominees. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch can now proceed with just a simple majority of 51 votes.
The final vote is expect tomorrow, Friday.

The Supreme Court's next conference day is Thursday, April 13.  Justice Gorsuch has a stack of reading to do, and Justice Kagan no longer has to answer the door if someone knocks.
