Update: SENATE VOTES 52-48 TO CHANGE RULES ON PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES, and so the nuclear option has been enacted.

As reported earlier, the Senate was set to vote on Harry Reid's proposal to enact a "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster for Obama nominees (and potentially in toto). Watch the vote live on C-Span after the jump.
