It is, of course just this simple. We are watching the end of our republic. The methods to resist are plain and simple. Demand quorum counts. Filibuster everything. Shut them down. This doesn't require approval from rino leadership. A single senator with a spine of steel could do this. It's literally a fight for America. Our forefathers pledged their lives, fortunes and their sacred honors. What say you, Cruz, Paul, Rubio, Scott, Lee, Ect.? There are millions out here who want to see somebody fight like America depends on it, because it does. Filibuster while you can. Ask for us to rally. Lead! We will follow! When government becomes tyranny, resistance becomes duty!

GUtless, spineless, soulless, clueless..

The Stupid GoP marches off into oblivion.

And the resistance doesn't have to start and end in the Senate. First, Boehner should tell Reid that no legislation of any kind that originates in the Senate will see the light of day in the House, and that means NONE. Second, every Republican member of the House and Senate should make a point to get at least one op-ed article published in the their local/regional/national newspaper that lays out the history of the filibuster and its roll in maintaining the balance of power and reminds everyone of Reid's position back in 2005 and 2008 when the GOP majority in the Senate threatened the nuclear option because the RATs were blocking Bush's appointments.

"Senate Republicans Can Retaliate. Will They?..."

.... LOL .... your funny.

I’d get rid of the filibuster for legislation if it meant Obamacare got repealed and not vetoed.

But it would be pretty pointless to get rid of the filibuster to repeal Obamacare when that repeal would just get vetoed before the ink on the repeal was dry.

The filibuster has stopped a lot of whacko leftist legislation from passing over the years. I wouldn’t get rid of it lightly.

LL!
It shall never happen! ...Mitch "USama's/Reid's *itch" McConnell just said so.

Republicans can bring the senate to a standstill just be allowing for no use of unanimous consent. Every bill would have to be read twice. Every single vote for any purpose would have to be a roll call vote. There are tons of parlamentary procedures they could use to shut the senate down, but they won't do it.

[AppyPappy]

The nuclear rule has one downside for Democrats. They are now documented as supporting people who can royally screw up. Judges weak on crime, corrupt administration members, etc.

[DManA]

Hell now. McConnell is too busy looking for a Tea Party Grandma he can punch.

[stylin19a]

Would he abolish the filibuster even for legislation?

yep

[gotribe]

Do not vote Republican.

EVER!

[Bluestocking]

Thanks to Harry Reid, in America we now have freedom of speech everywhere but in the U.S. Senate. Which means that every Republican Senator capable of leaving the comfort of the Senate cloakroom should be speaking out across the country.

Unfortunately, there are only three eloquent, passionate Republicans today charismatic enough to get applause lines and electrify Republican voters every time they speak — Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Sarah Palin. If they dedicate themselves to winning a Republican Senate majority dominated by Conservatives next November — which they appear interested in doing — they’ll succeed, and Harry Reid will soon be forgotten.
