Somebody had better tell the rats that thanks to their precident and the media's unwillingness to report on procedure in detail, that a majority in the senate means absolutely nothing. A supermajority 2/3 seat majority is now needed to get anything done in the senate.

Well we know that's true so far if the Democrats aren't interested....... However we don't know what the results will be if the roles were reversed and the Democrats were in charge....

For Republicans, yes. For Democrats, all they will need is 51 seats because the Repubs won't have the cajones to filibuster a damn thing.
