Go for it. There will be a Republican Senate in 2 years.
*And* it will destroy the Senate in terms of being more deliberate than the House, seriously weakening it in the overall scheme.
Shit dawg, go for it, losers.
What has already been passed in the house that they want to push through in the Senate? Are there not a few bills floating around that need only Senate approval?
I believe you can do some judge-confirming stuff in the Senate only, but I’m betting our Supreme Court guys are hanging on by their fingernails after THIS president. Bet ya no one retires, or even DIES. lol
The Democrats play political hardball all the time, every time. They live for this. This is their whole life in the public sector. This is their idea of war.
The damned Republicans had better start understanding this.
The best way to actually see a Marxist for what they are is very simple test.
The Ends Justify the Means.
Well, problem is that once this becomes the rules of the street game then no process will matter.
This will become a naked race for totalitarian power that may initiate violent conflict.
Might will make right, no process will have any meaning whatsoever, and America will have devolved into a 3rd world dictatorship.
Forget any thought of a Constitutional form of Government.
> Big deal. Won’t help them at all. The House will stop anything they start.
Actually, this may be beneficial for Republicans. There are 20 or so Democratic Senators due for a re-election in 2012. Republicans need only 5 of those to win votes, if filibuster rules are not in effect. Also, a potential Republican majority in 2012 will not have to worry about filibusters if Democrats are helpful enough to eliminate them now.
Sorry, but the House has no control over Senate rules. The reverse is also true.
I like the image you posted. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and all!
Bingo! You win the grand prize.
Liberals know where the power is shifting.
Yes, if the Democrats prepare this meal now, they will have to eat it themselves in 2012.
My fear is that they are prepared to make this deal for the once in a lifetime chance to pack the Supreme Court with traitorous “progressives”, i.e. fascists.
Of course, that was when "good enough" was in the Democrats' best interests. Today, apparently, if it was good enough for the 111th Congress, it isn't good enough for the 112th Congress.
I wonder why?

I call BS.
Majority rule is American.
At what point do we simply throw in the towel on the now-defunct idea of living in a Constitutional Republic?
If the ends justify the means to our oppressors, and might makes right, and tyranny is upon us, what are we waiting for?
Is there a line in the sand beyond which we will not be pushed? A level of corruption we will not tolerate?
You seem ill-informed. The Constitution, Art. 1, Sections 3-5, clearly allows the Senate to make its rules. Have you actually read the Constitution?
This has nothing to do with the House or laws or the President.
1) This will have limited benefit to the Rats in 2011, because they won’t be able to pass any legislation without the House’s consent.
2) This could have enormous benefit to conservatives in 2013, assuming we win a Senate majority and the Presidency.
3) There is nothing in the Constitution about a filibuster.
Why oppose this? We’ll just be called hypocrites later.
I think you misread Tzimisce’s post. At least, I hope so.
Because if you didn’t, I did. lol
No it isn’t.
“Whistle-blowers” like Lt.Col. Terry Lakin, Pastor Dr. James David Manning and Air Line Pilot in Sacramento just recently got the “Government’s”(?) treatment and FCC is zeroing in on the internet, hello???
