What Can Washington Get Done in Obama’s Last Two Years?

The point isn't to make law. That will have to wait for 2017, assuming we win.

And how will that change anything? Will the filibuster magically go away or the Democrats change their stripes?

Harry Reid has simply been sitting on bills, so not only does Obama not have to veto anything, but Harry's Democrat colleagues, some of whom represent red or purple states, are spared from casting embarrassing votes.

So Reid can't sit on things anymore to prevent bills from making it to the floor. So they switch to plan B. Filibustering everything in sight doesn't seem to have hurt the GOP. How will it hurt the Democrats?
