Exactly, the next time that GOP is in the minority and trying to filibuster a liberal appointee, they will not wait a week before they change the rules to benefit them.
Correctomundo! These senators know this. The hold that the elites have an ALL of them is what at issue. We, the internet, talk radio has exposed them & they either go with their elite puppeteers who finance them or with us who got them elected. We the people are not willing for compromise anymore. Better believe that if not for us the pubbies would have caved long ago.
You're exactly right! The 'rats would use the "nuclear option" in a heartbeat if and/or when the situation is reversed.
This crap that we need to preserve the right to filibuster judicial nominees is ridiculous. The 'rats will laugh at the Republicans if they compromise away the "constitutional option"
I wish everyone would realize this.
