The reason was fear: Fear that they mightwill return to the minority one day, fear that a weakened filibuster might hurt them, fear that Republicans might change the rules to the disadvantage of Democrats ifwhen they regain a majority.

[circlecity]

This is the creed of dictators throughout history.

No, NYT, Democrats KNOW that gun control support hurt Al Bore in his run for the White House

[Doogle]

But after years of being out-yelled by strident right-wing ideologues

...????.....you mean citizens?

[Puppage]

fear that Republicans might change the rules

It's ALWAYS the democRATS that try to change the rules in the middle of the game. From defining what a chad is & giving themselves more time to count votes in the 2000 election. To, now, wanting to redefine a "new" Bill of Rights'. How I LOATHE the left.

Who actually believes this crap?

These people up insanity by a notch or several every single day. There must be a word beyond insanity to describe this. Insanity seems so mild compared to what this is and what they do.

[Obadiah]

By any other name the NYTimes is calling for tyranny. They can press their advantage, but the NYTimes had better support House Republicans because THEY have the majority and whatever they demand should go as well, right?

Yeah, right. The corrupt MSM-Democrat Party machine needs to be dismantled.

[Boomer One]

Sure, go ahead and use it just like you did on Obamacare. And what do we get from Democrats besides higher taxes, more control of our lives (liberties lost), and politicians robbing the people? The NY Times just wants more tax revenue in the coffers to buy votes and be distributed to bankrupt Blue States. I really believe if they were to push hard at this time, especially against gun rights, it would split the country beyond repair.

[Jim Noble]

I must compliment Obama and his handlers on this issue.

He (they) are quite skilled at the use of raw power to accomplish their objectives.

[what's up]

Hunters in red states know full well that a semiautomatic weapon bristling with military features is unnecessary to bring down a deer or a duck. If Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, who just won re-election comfortably, were to make that case, he might change a few minds

What liars. It's not about a deer or duck and they know that full well. So does Manchin which is why he won't say what this idiot wants him to say.
