In 1974 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal when the Dems had 61 votes in the senate they revised the cloture rule to require 61 votes instead of the 2/3 that had been historically required. Now they are trying to drive it down to a simple majority. If they succeed I can't wait to hear them squeal when the GOP regains control of the senate.

remember it was the GOP who coined the phrase NUCLEAR OPTION. = 51 VOTES.
