Let ‘em. Chances are, Republicans take the Senate and the White House in 2012 and then just watch these people whine and pout when we do the same and cite the precedent that the Dems did it first.
I rather doubt the Dems want to give that up just for 24 months of partial government control. It might get some of their judges passed and other commies confirmed but there will be tremendous hell to pay in 2013 and they won’t have Senate “rules” to fall back on once they abandon them themselves.
Democrats are evil but they’re not stupid. I doubt they do this.
When's the last time Republicans have ever "done the same thing" as Dims to push through legislation? Most of them are gutless wonders, spineless RINOs, and Jello fellows who worry more about being "liked" by their opponents than they do about actually representing their constituents.
