IF they do this...it will come back and bite them hard...when we had the opportunity we did not change the rules...for good reason. IF the rules are changed in 2 yrs. they can kiss their majority goodbye...

It does not make sense for them to do this when they don’t have the House which is where everything begins (basically). If they were going to do this, they should have two years ago. Of course, I don’t want them to at all but if they wanted to do this two years ago was the time not now.

While the Democrats pull this crap, the media is beating down the Republicans on their alleged promise for bipartisan cooperation with the Democrats.

where did,
rules change on the first day,
come from?
...

I though that the Senate was a ‘continuing body’
so rules would continue from the
last session, ..unless changed..
