Republicans need more than a majority. They need a super majority plus several to compensate for a few rinos.
Being leader of the Senate is great for setting the agenda, committees, etc, but the dims are going to push to the point than a super majority is needed.
And since they ‘nuked’ the repubs, turn about is fair play. Bet they scream like....stuck pigs too.
What this does, IMHO, is help ensure that Obama won't have the opportunity to put another Karl Marx on the Supreme Court. If he has the opportunity to appoint he will try to get the most radical person he can seated, but at least we will have a fighting chance to stop it. This is true only if the Republicans actually use their power. It's up to us to hold their feet to the fire.
