Senate Democrats to push Obama nominees under new rules
WJLA ^ | 12/08/13

**SNIP**

Democrats could make Republican delays as painful as possible, such as keeping the Senate in session all night and on weekends.

"We're going to seek to achieve as much as we possibly can and hope Republicans will cooperate with us, instead of just using knee-jerk obstruction," said Adam Jentleson, spokesman for Reid.

Republicans are already using the rules to flex their muscle.

When the Senate recessed for Thanksgiving, it did not approve a batch of noncontroversial nominations and bills, which it usually does before such breaks. With 60 votes still required to end filibusters against legislation, Republican senators are blocking final passage of the defense bill until Reid allows votes on Republican amendments.

Is there any question the world's once most deliberative body is Obama’s rubber stamp?

What is the purpose of the senate?

How does popular election of senators promote its purpose?

Reid inadvertently gives himself a rude gesture while wiping Homobama essence from the corner of his lie-hole....

Reed hired his ‘Adam Jentleson, spokesman for Reid’ after witnessing and being impressed with the mental prowess of Rachael Jentel during the twayvons trial.

I thought this sack of poo, Reid, triggered the nuclear option? They don’t need GOP senators to pass anything they want.

Oh, I get it now, the only problem with using the nuclear option is that he can no longer make a public gripe that the bad ole GOP is obstructing things. So Reid will pretend the GOP is obstructing for media purposes.

See how that works?
