The GOP Senate needs to use the current filibuster rules that the Dems made and then make them choke on those rules until they beg for them to be changed.

Under NO circumstance short they change the rules back, or let them get changed back, PERIOD!

Net result: Obama uses the last two years of his Presidency to fill every vacancy on the Federal Bench with extremist Liberals. Next GOP President has NO opportunity to move the bench back in a Conservative direction.

Yes, it sucks that we have to play by different rules. But our goal is preservation of the Constitution and restoration of the Republic. Theirs is to gain/retain power. We can't fight on their field, we need to stop the bleeding long enough to shift the fight to OUR field.
