I disagree that the Republicans should have gone for the nuclear option. But I agree they are wimps. Before going nuclear, they should have actually forced the Democrats to carry out their filibuster threat. As it is, the Republicans caved despite there being no actual filibuster!

But Republicans and Democrats both were afraid to hold up the work of the Senate in stuffing their barrels with pork, thus, no filibuster.

It is pathetic.

Just vote pro-freedom. Sometimes that will be Republican, sometimes it won't. But it will never mean you'll be voting Democrat.

What's "nuclear" about it? Rule 13 has been suspended many times. Usually by Sen. Byrd. Read last month Harvard Public Policy Review.
